Hello! My name is Katie, and I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I identify as neurodivergent (ADHD with Autistic traits) and have worked with neurodivergent 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.
Personally, my loved ones and I are neurodivergent. (Specifically, I am a late identified ADHDer with Autistic traits, my husband is a late identified Autistic ADHDer, and my brother is an ADHDer with Autistic traits.)
Growing up as neurodivergent 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 neurodivergent 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.
