Katie Hertert, MSW, LISW-S, LICDC

With a background in communication, I’ve always been captivated by human relationships and the ways we connect with each other. After spending nearly a decade as an Administrative Assistant, where my role was predominantly filled with paperwork, I found myself yearning for a more direct interaction with people. This desire led me to pursue a Master of Social Work at The Ohio State University, setting me on the path to become a Clinical Social Worker.

I am passionate about joining every client on their unique recovery journey. With 11 years of experience treating people struggling with addictions along with co-occurring mental health diagnoses; including anxiety, depression and trauma I  love working with adults of all ages, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and especially young adults, mothers, individuals, and couples.

My practice is built on a foundation of techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and trauma-informed care. I take great joy in learning the unique stories of each of my clients of all ages over 18. I have a particular passion for assisting young adults as they navigate the challenging transitions through college and into early adulthood.
