Katie Dedic, M.S.Ed, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
There is no one true reason people come to counseling, however, in my experience,people start counseling because they want something to change. Whether you’relooking tofix dysfunction, make meaning from chaos, or actively pursue happiness, I’dbe happy to support you and your journey.With trust, respect, acceptance, and genuine care as the building blocks for atherapeutic relationship, I work collaboratively with my clients and empower them toachieve their goals. I understand that each person is unique and my approach reflectsthat. While my techniques can be dependent on the client, I always lead with empathy,curiosity, and humor.
