Katie Corrigan (she/her) earned her master’s degree (M.A.) in Counseling and Psychology from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Previously, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts and Literature from St. Cloud State University and a master’s degree in Literacy from Hamline University. Before she became a mental health counselor, she spent thirteen years working as an English teacher in middle and high school.
The individualized approach Katie took in teaching is also the approach she takes as a mental health professional. She recognizes each person has unique needs. In practice, she leans into CBT, ACT, EMDR, ERP, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches. In guiding clients through the processing of their own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, she strives for each client to experience a cognitive shift that will lead to healthier decision making and less emotional distress. Along with attending training regarding suicide prevention and grassroots responses to healing and social justice, she is fully trained in EMDR and ERP.
In her down time, Katie enjoys spending time with her family, doing puzzles, and traveling. She also really loves her dogs (especially Ginsburg).
