Katie Hunter, LMHC

Katie Hunter supports people navigating the emotional fallout that often accompanies chronic or terminal illness and the demands of caregiving. She works with individuals who are confronting anxiety, grief, anger, exhaustion, and shifts in self-identity that can follow illness, addiction in a loved one, or major life transitions. Her approach centers on helping people process complex feelings such as resentment, guilt, shame, confusion, and the loss of a former relationship when addiction has changed the dynamic between partners.

Katie has a particular interest in aiding caregivers and spouses who are shouldering the responsibilities of supporting someone with chronic or terminal conditions or substance use concerns. She also helps clients facing job and relationship changes, offering practical coping strategies and emotional support as they adjust to new circumstances. Her work emphasizes restoring a sense of agency and rebuilding a coherent sense of self after disruption.

Katie holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - a professional license to provide mental health therapy. She blends empathy with evidence-informed methods to guide clients toward manageable steps for healing and growth. Katie conveys a hopeful perspective about resilience and recovery, helping people find meaning and creativity even after difficult experiences.
