Expertise

Katie Gustafson, MA, LPC, MHSP, is a psychotherapist, author, and speaker who guides individuals and teams to step out of the stories that no longer serve them and into lives that feel fully their own. After years of both clinical work and in her own journey with depression, anxiety, cancer and burnout, she found that the most powerful tool for transformation isn’t hustle or perfection – it’s awareness and self-compassion. And that’s what she has dedicated her life to helping others cultivate.

As a momma, wife, creative, and breast cancer survivor, Katie brings both thousands of hours of clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She understands what it means to push through the world’s expectations – only to find yourself longing for something truer.

Why Katie:

  • Licensed psychotherapist with 10+ years of clinical expertise

  • Formal training in the Enneagram as a tool for self-recovery

  • Breast cancer survivor who speaks with honesty, grace, and authority

  • Author of the forthcoming book Odd Numbers, bringing built-in media and reader credibility to every stage

“Katie is an authentic, empathic, and gifted communicator. With a professional background in therapy and formal training in the Enneagram, Katie Gustafson creatively combines mindfulness practices and self-care prescriptions to create deep, transformational change in those she works with.”

— Ian Morgan Cron, Author of The Road Back to You
