At times, life can be uncomfortable, unpredictable, and even painful. When you think about it, life is similar to a greenhouse. Greenhouses are not comfortable spaces. They are hot and damp, and they don't really smell good. Yet it is within this environment, growth happens. The uncomfortable elements of heat and water and fertilizer allow for an environment in which a hopeless, buried seed can emerge from the soil with new life. That is what the process of therapy is to me; leaning into the discomfort and allowing life to rise anew and abundant.
Hi there! I’m Katie Dorsten, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Centerville, OH. I believe deeply in the healing power of therapy and the positive change it can produce in one’s life. I’m most passionate about empowering women and girls to fully embrace themselves through self compassion, healing from internalized trauma, and exploring aspects of themselves which have been neglected or reduced. While that is my passion, I also happily work with individuals, couples, families, and children to improve mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and may include talk therapy, expressive arts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, person-centered, solution focused, play therapy, and strengths-based interventions. Throughout my work and life, I have had the privilege to witness up close the power and resiliency of the human spirit. I practice with the belief that you already have the answers you need, and that our work together can empower you to find those strengths and make the changes you're hoping for. I believe through this work, your most true self can be set free.
It is my great honor to be your witness as you grow toward your most abundant life.
