Grief counselors and therapists in Minneapolis, MN

Hello, and welcome. My name is Katelynn and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW/LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals, adolescents, and families navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I believe that every person has strengths and resilience, and my role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth can occur. I am passionate about empowering clients to recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lives that reflect their values and goals. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or working toward personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and wellness.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012. I utilize a client centered approach in assisting my clients to remove barriers preventing them from living their best life. I utilize a variety of tools and encourage my clients to practice self-advocacy and be an active participant in decision making in their therapy. After all you are the expert on you.

As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.

Healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. For over 20 years, I've helped children, teens, adults, and families overcome anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Senior Clinical Supervisor, and first-generation Hmong American, I provide compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors your story and empowers lasting change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, restore hope, and create a path toward healing, resilience, and healthier relationships.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
