Katie Luce is a trusted and versed therapist, consultant, and clinical supervisor. I have know Katie from our work together at a local middle school where she oversaw the entire Adolescent Counseling Services(ACS) department. I worked closely with Katie, referring her student-clients who needed extra supports in such areas as: stress management, social skills, coping through parental divorce, and building resiliency in the tough world our teens now inhabit. Katie showed great care in assisting these students reach a better quality of life through her thorough knowledge of teen issues, and the best ways to help them address life through empowerment and acceptance. Through the ever-present supervision of her interns, and consultation with school staff, Katie was able to oversee multiple cases and treated each one with the dedication every parent would desire. Katie is able to connect with teens and adults alike, and was a definitely positive influence on many individually, as well as continually promoting the supportive culture of the school — always with resolve and a smile on her face. Katie is warm and accepting, and really provides a space for others to feel comfortable talking about their difficulties. She also works from a belief that people are inherently good(not broken) and that they have the capacity to solve their problems with some assistance through counseling. Katie works with teens(and parents) where they’re at psychologically, encouraging growth at a pace that is tailored to their individual needs. I fully support Katie as a therapist, and advocate of the families she works with, who really understands the common struggles as well as knows how to help those through the tough times. Jeff
