My name is Katie Mathis, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Trained Demartini Faciliator, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Synergetic Play Therapist. Walking alongside families, children, and individuals as they uncover their authentic Selves, discover what inspires them, integrate painful memories, build new neuropathways, and grow in greater love - is what inspires me! I get to see both the human mind and the soul in all their brilliance. I am grateful to each and every child, parent, teen, and adult individual who has allowed me into their journey. They are my greatest teachers.
My beliefs & methodoloy are the result of a love of learning about the mind, brain, & body, combined with a personal interest in discovering how to live as an inspired and authentic individual in connection to Soul. For years I experienced OCD & anxiety without understanding the root and even the brilliance behind it. The more I tried to “manage” it, the more it popped up. But on a path of learning to live in alliance with my authentic self and learning to work with my body’s energy and the neuropathways in my brain - I could literally feel my body grow lighter as energy shifted and my brain formed new ways of thinking. I also learned how to channel moments of anxiety into a source of strength for that which inspires me. (Our struggles are often our superpowers!) I now love inspiring these shifts in my clients, witnessing their breakthroughs and helping them uncover their own wisdom, brilliance, & healing.
When I’m not at INSPIRE, you can find me hiking, painting, reading in front of my fireplace, & planning adventures with the people I love.
