Hello!

My Story

Hello! My name is Katherine Nortz, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) here at the United Labor Agency Counseling Center. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science from Wilmington University in Wilmington, Delaware, and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio.

​

I provide individual counseling to adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the many challenges that can arise throughout different seasons of life. Sometimes we know exactly what brought us to therapy, and sometimes we know that something doesn't feel right. Either way, I believe there is value in having a place to slow down, sort through what you're experiencing, and feel supported along the way.

​

My approach to counseling is humanistic and person-centered. Everyone has unique experiences, strengths, challenges, and ways of making sense of the world. Rather than seeing my clients simply through the lens of a diagnosis or a particular problem, I want to understand the whole person. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and discover what feels meaningful and right for you. I work to create a space and a relationship where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, no matter where you are on your journey.

​

Outside of the work I do here, I am a lifelong learner. I like to stay curious about the world around me, people, relationships, and the things that contribute to a fulfilling life. I have a particular passion for fitness/movement, nutrition, cooking, reading, my family, my pets, and my plants.

​

If you are considering counseling, I hope you will feel welcomed, respected, and accepted exactly as you are. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. We can start wherever you are and take it from there.
