Intro
Hello! My name is Katie, and I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have approximately 11 years of mental health field experience. I am an Autistic ADHDer myself and have worked with Autistic and ADHD clients, even before joining Prosper Health. In particular, I love helping neurodivergent clients learn how to better manage their anxieties and mood difficulties in order to improve their quality of life.
Initially, I got to volunteer at a camp for Autistic kids and I loved it. However, over time my motivation has become a lot more personal. Both myself and my husband are late diagnosed AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) and I want to help others who are also Autistic/ADHD/otherwise Neurodivergent.
Growing up as an Autistic/ADHD individual who didn't know they were neurodivergent left me feeling out of place in the world, like I didn't fit in. All too often, I hear this from my Autistic/ADHD clients as well. I don't want anybody to feel like they are not enough or that they have to change the core of who they are to belong. Rather, I want to help people, like me, reduce their anxiety and depression levels, and create a life worth living where they know they belong.
