“The first step towards success is taken when you refuse to stay captive of the environment you first find yourself in.”
-Mark Caine
Do you ever ask yourself, “Now what?” Change is required throughout the life process, but can be extremely uncomfortable and seem impossible in a certain situations. If you know that change is necessary, but have no idea how to initiate the process, congratulate yourself. Awareness is the first step towards change.
Katie Vernon wants you to know that you are not trapped. She will help you address your current life challenges by drawing from a variety of treatment approaches to collaboratively develop goals tailored to your needs. Katie’s empathic method of relating to her patients assists them in feeling heard, understood, and safe.
Katie Vernon’s unique training within the Department of Children and Family Services has provided her with specialized skills to work with families saturated with issues related to abuse, trauma, co-parenting issues, and marital discord. Currently, Katie is running the Partial Hospitalization Program at LCMH Medical Center. Katie is experienced in working with patients seeking to find:
INSIGHT, BALANCE, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, SELF-ESTEEM, ANGER MANAGEMENT, STRESS MANAGEMENT, COPING SKILLS, IMPULSE CONTROL, EMOTIONAL BOUNDARIES, PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS, GOAL ACHIEVEMENT AND EMPOWERMENT.
And the most significant factor in empowerment, YOURSELF.
