More about me below 👇🏻

What do you love about your job?

I say all the time (sorry for all of you that have already heard this) that I have a super unfair advantage in life in that I get to do this work. I spend my days talking to people and hearing our shared fears, experiences, etc. There’s so much freedom in knowing what a shared experience life is and I’m so grateful for it.

Favorite hobbies when not working?

I spend most of my time with my husband, our 5 kids and our 4 (yes, 4. long story) dogs. I also love to read, live music and concerts, cooking and baking and Peloton. This year I’ve found a love of running and I’m having so much fun training for my first marathon this fall!

Best advice you’ve ever received?

In undergrad we were talking about career plans with our stats professor (Dr. Wolf at ECSU, IYKYK) and I casually mentioned some worries about affording grad school and continuing on. I already had two kids at the time and school had been an uphill journey for me as a working mom also in school full time. When he heard this he said, “You keep going. If you have to sell what you own, if you have to take every loan they’ll give ya or sell a kidney, you just don’t give up and you figure it out and you do it.” He’s since passed away, but was an encourager even through grad school and I’ve never regretted taking his advice!

Say hi to Kaiya!

Kaiya is the newest member of our team, coming on board late last year. Kaiya brings great skills, with a background in higher education and dual Masters Degrees in both social work and higher education administration. Her clinical insights and enthusiasm have been a joy to add to our team, and we love hearing how much patients are already raving about their work with her. Kaiya is a gem and we’re so glad to have her as part of our group!

Get to know Kaiya a little better:

Favorite Meal:
Sushi

Favorite Hobbies:
When I’m not working I enjoy going for a long walk, going to a workout class, trying a new coffee shop, or spending time with my dog!

Best Advice I’ve Gotten:
“You did the best you could with the skills you had at the time.”

Meet Jess!
Katie here to brag on Jess. Jess is a grad school friend who was the first therapist to join the team when I expanded, and was an encourager long before she joined Centered Minds. Before working together, I hosted a walk to support individuals impacted by su***de at a previous job, and was surprised to see Jess was there that morning, ready to participate - and not just to be supportive to me, but because she is genuinely passionate about the work that she does and about supporting people navigating mental health and life’s challenges. As I fumbled my way through the transition from individual to group practice, Jess came along for the ride and has been a major part of CM’s growth. Jess is a Peloton-riding, adventure-seeking outdoor enthusiast who also happens to be a great friend, mom, wife and therapist - and we’re all so glad to work with her. Get to know Jess a little better:

Favorite hobbies when not working:
I appreciate all the seasons here in New England, so I love exploring the outdoors all year long. I especially love going to the beach with my family and friends in the summer and walking trails in the fall. I also enjoy reading books, baking homemade cookies, and making crafts.

Favorite meal:
I enjoy all kinds of hearty soups and I love trying authentic food dishes. Enjoying a bowl of Pho is the perfect meal for me!

Best advice I’ve ever received:
Think about all that you are, instead of what you are not.

Favorite part of your job?
I love taking part in others’ personal growth journeys and witnessing them overcome challenges. I love teaching problem solving skills, empowering others to recognize their strengths, and providing support through life transitions.
