Katie Ross-McGinnis, LPC

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I work with individuals across the lifespan, supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, and periods of feeling disconnected from themselves.

I believe therapy should be a space where all parts of you are welcome. My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools, perspective, and a supportive therapeutic relationship that encourages meaningful and lasting change. I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my work, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, confidence, and connection to themselves.

I also have a particular passion for working with athletes, both equine and non-equine. As someone who has been competing in equine sports since the age of five, I understand the unique pressures that come with competition—the preparation, expectations, performance anxiety, setbacks, self-doubt, and the challenge of balancing who you are with how you perform. I bring that lived experience together with my mental health training to support athletes in managing pressure, building confidence, recovering from disappointment, and developing a healthier relationship with performance.

I strive to meet each client where they are. My goal is to create a space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical skills, explore what is underneath the challenges you're experiencing, and move toward a life that feels more connected, grounded, and authentically your own.
