Katie Clay
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Elk Grove,CA
Summary
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a passion for supporting the needs and well-being of youth whose development has been impacted by involvement with the justice system. I excel at forging positive, collaborative, and productive relationships with difficult-to-engage clients and system partners alike. My professional style is authentic, engaging, boundaried, caring, creative, humorous, and direct. I have over 5 years experience in the field of mental health, providing a wide array of culturally competent, strengths-based individual, family, and group therapy services to youth and their families in community, school, residence, office and custody settings. One of my greatest joys is seeing a Client experience being authentically cared for and accepted.
