Katie Gentry
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor
ABOUT:
Katie grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta and moved to the city after finishing college. Having studied business at the University of Georgia, she began her career as a campus recruiter at a public accounting firm. It was quickly apparent that she enjoyed the relational aspect of recruiting far more than filling her hiring goals. As a result, she decided to pursue a masters in counseling. Katie has since worked in residential treatment as well as intensive outpatient addiction therapy.
Katie seeks to provide a safe and welcoming environment for clients to pursue insight, hope and healing as they engage in introspection. She approaches counseling holistically and believes in using her authenticity and empathy to foster the client-counselor relationship. She recognizes that making the choice to attend counseling is not an easy one and would be honored to offer you care.
