Katie Dean, LCSW

Katie Dean is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah who brings three years of professional therapy experience together with ten years in case management and human services. She focuses on working with teens and young adults, including those involved with juvenile justice services, and emphasizes helping people recover from trauma while building practical skills for emotional resilience and empowerment.

She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). TF-CBT is a structured approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and develop coping strategies, while EMDR is a therapy method that supports processing and reducing the lasting impact of traumatic events. These evidence-based approaches inform her work with clients who have experienced abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma-related concerns.

In addition to trauma work, she addresses a broad range of issues including relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, motivation, and communication or control difficulties. Her practice is client-centered and trauma-informed, aiming to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and pursue meaningful change.

Katie values the courage it takes to begin therapy and strives to support each person she works with as they move toward greater emotional health and empowerment.
