Katherine Petty
About
Hi! Thank you so much for reading this and I'm so happy you're here! I'm Dr. Katherine Petty. I am licensed - and live - in wonderful Colorado. I'm passionate about creating a space where mental health, compassion, and empathy meet and I love being a part of my client's support team! As a provider, it's important to me to create a supportive, understanding, validating connection with my clients.
I love learning about people and their brains and patterns. Working with adults in the process of understanding themselves better is incredibly meaningful and I am grateful to be a part of that process. Over my years of practicing psychology, I've seen how often neurodivergent adults are not diagnosed or misdiagnosed because our society has created very specific expectations for all of us. I find it so fulfilling to help people understand their strengths and nuances and I seek to provide clarity, understanding, connection, and joy to those with whom I work. My goal is to learn about you, celebrate you, and help you feel understood and safe.
My goal for evaluations is for clients to leave feeling understood, empowered, knowledgeable, and confident. I firmly believe that neurodivergence is not a deficit or something to be overcome but something to be celebrated, affirmed, and appreciated. We all have strengths and areas in which we can grow and my hope is to support clients in understanding their experiences, their brains, and how much the world needs - and benefits from - variety!
