Hello, I’m Katlyn Hash, but you can call me Katie. Before diving into my professional background, I’d like to share a little about myself. I’m a proud pet owner, with a 27-year-old turtle named Speedy, along with my three cats—Stella, Mufasa, and Toothless—and my energetic puppy, Piper.

One of my greatest joys is writing this bio to connect with you and support your journey toward reaching your full potential. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services and Counseling in 2020 and later earned my Master of Education in Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College in May 2023. Having personally experienced the complexities of childhood trauma, I am deeply passionate about helping others overcome similar challenges with compassion and understanding

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking time to view my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Virginia with 10 years of professional work experience. I have specific formal training in trauma-based modalities such as EMDR, TIR (Trauma Incident Reduction) and extensive experience working with individuals in recovery from substance use/addiction as well as those experiencing first episode psychosis and thought disorders.

I believe therapy begins with feeling safe enough to be honest and being heard without judgment. I want my clients to know that you don't have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Virginia and Maryland. I have worked in behavioral health for many years, with a particular focus on substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and trauma. My experience includes working with adults from diverse backgrounds and supporting individuals through residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels of care.

I genuinely enjoy helping people recognize strengths they may have forgotten they have. I believe that your diagnosis, substance use, trauma, or past experiences are only part of your story—they do not define who you are. I will meet you where you are and work with you to identify where you want to go next.

This field is everything to me. I have been fully licensed for a short time but have worked in mental health for over 10 years in many roles. Working with clients, being alongside them through their most difficult and profound experiences, is the biggest honor one could have.

I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or arrive with everything figured out. It needs to be your safe place.

My approach is warm,compassionate, and deeply human. I work with people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Together, we make space to understand what you’ve been through, what your nervous system has learned to protect you from, and what you need now in order to heal and move forward.

I created Gentle Ground Therapy with the hope of offering exactly what the name represents—a soft place to land, where you feel comfortable and safe.

You are more than what has happened to you, and healing does not mean becoming someone new. Sometimes it means gently finding your way back to yourself.

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.
