Katelyn Wells, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Katelyn!

As a mom and lifelong learner, I am passionate about helping others on their journey of personal growth and healing. I bring a diverse skill set to my therapeutic work, specializing in grief counseling and complex trauma.

My focus

I work with individuals of all ages, including adolescents, couples, and families. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, behavioral issues, anger management, impulsivity, self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, thought disorders, and LGBTQIA+-related concerns.

My approach

My approach is solution-focused and strengths-based. I work collaboratively with you, harnessing your inherent resources and resilience to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through evidence-based modalities, I tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs.

My communication style

Humor, authenticity, and a forward approach characterize my communication style. I believe in connecting with clients on a human level, building rapport and trust through open, honest dialogue. While I take my work seriously, I also value the power of laughter and lightness in the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to make a positive impact in people's lives. As someone who has personally navigated life's challenges and witnessed the struggles of loved ones, I felt called to support others on their path to healing and self-discovery.

My goals for you

My ultimate goal is to empower you to live a life aligned with your values, full of meaning, purpose, and joy. Whether you are grappling with long-standing patterns, acute stressors, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to walk beside you, offering guidance, tools, and unwavering support.

Our first session

In our first session, we will take the time to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic alliance. I will listen intently to your story, your hopes, and your challenges. We will collaboratively identify your goals for therapy and develop a customized treatment plan. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental space.
