Welcome to my blog about mental health and wellbeing
Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a licensed mental health counselor and owner of HGCM Therapy. Along with individual and group therapy, I like to provide resources to improve access and attention to mental health and wellbeing. In this blog you will get tips and tools (coping skills), activities, and connections to other resources. I also write about topics that show up a lot in therapy. My hope is that this blog may bring you one step closer on your journey to mental wellbeing. Be well!
