I am a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders, body image concerns, mindfulness and compassion, and relationship based therapies.

I enjoy working collaboratively with a client, couple, or family to understand the role and function of different personal difficulties. Together we can work to see
how someone’s struggles relate to their larger goals, hopes, and motivations.

I use approaches to therapy that focus on understanding the role and functions of emotions and behaviors, understanding someone’s experience in the context of relationships, and utilizing strengths and competencies in the therapy process.

In addition to individual therapy, I have a passion for working with couples, families, and in relationship based therapies. I also provide parent consultation for parents supporting their child or adult child through an eating disorder.

I completed a fellowship at Mclean Hospital-Harvard Medical School in Adolescent Mental Health and completed my predoctoral internship at the University of Virginia Counseling and Psychological Services. Prior to working in private practice, I worked as a staff psychologist at Mclean Hospital’s Klarman Eating Disorders Center and held an appointment at Harvard Medical School. At Klarman Eating Disorders Center, I specialized in the care of individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and associated concerns.

Please reach out if you have any questions and would like to schedule a complimentary initial phone consultation.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques, meaning that we will look at patterns of thinking and habits in behaviors that may be maintaining negative mood states or problematic situations. My therapeutic style is collaborative, open and interpersonal, meaning we work together to address problems and feedback runs both directions. I strive to meet patients where they are at and personalize treatment whether you are new to therapy or not, wanting help w/ a specific concern or struggling to identify what that is, or ready to share versus a little unsure.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Nourished Minds Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in treating adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and OCD. I am a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and often infuse this background into my clinical work to help clients befriend their body and regulate their nervous system. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Most importantly, however, we focus on building trust and connection, and then personalize the therapy based on what will best serve the client’s goals.

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Simmons University.

I deeply appreciate the experience I gained working with students to build their toolbox of coping skills to navigate through anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, relationship challenges, trauma, chronic pain, and identity development.

My decade of experience as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist helps me appreciate the complicated relationship we can have with our bodies. I have taught therapeutic yoga at several Boston-area eating disorder treatment programs. I often work with clients who have not necessarily had a positive relationship with yoga, mindfulness, or movement, and love the challenge of taking creative approaches to help improve the mind-body relationship.

As a nutrition therapist, I believe in the strength and power of a provider-client relationship that is built on mutual respect, compassion, and safety. It is this relationship that serves as the foundation for a collaborative approach to treatment and healing in which we will explore the possibility of interacting with food, eating, movement, and your body in a way that is authentic and driven by your core values.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Staff Psychotherapist at Nourished Minds: Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, OCD and/or eating disorders. I particularly enjoy supporting young people as they grapple through the transition to adulthood and the related issues that arise including identity, relationship and conflict navigation.

I believe that my clients are experts in their own experiences, and I feel privileged to be allowed into their lives. I strive to create a warm, safe and non-judgmental space for my clients, in which I bring curiosity and compassion to every session. I empower my clients to identify their own goals and collaborate with them to help develop individualized action-oriented treatment plans to improve the quality of their lives. I identify as an ally to the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and disability communities and value working across the spectrums of gender, race, sexuality, and class.

Prior to joining Nourished Minds, I earned a Master of Social Work from Boston College and have spent the last several years working on inpatient and partial programs at McLean Hospital, where I worked with clients in acute crises, across a wide range of life stages, diagnoses and identities. I graduated as a Fellow at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy in 2023. I utilize ERP, ACT and CBT to treat the majority of my clients, but am also certified in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and integrate elements of IFS into my work. I am also a member of the National Association of Social Workers, where I engage in ongoing professional development.

My clinical experiences have been enriched by living and working in several different countries. Prior to focusing on psychotherapy, I helped develop social impact small businesses in Kigali, Rwanda, and was involved in starting a non-profit organization in Nairobi, Kenya, funding female education.

In a culture with many negative messages about nutrition and health, Katelyn is passionate about helping individuals build a more positive, intuitive, and sustainable relationship with food and their bodies. Katelyn embraces the nuances of nutrition and the complexities of health, utilizing an individualized, science-based, compassionate approach. With a focus on one’s strengths and resiliency, she empowers individuals to build eating patterns and health practices aligned with their unique goals and values.

My practice is rooted in body liberation, meaning I believe all bodies are deeply worthy of acceptance, compassion, and care and understand that many people considering therapy may be carrying the baggage of living in a world where it isn’t safe to accept yourself. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and appreciate the rich diversity that exists amongst different body shapes and sizes. I believe effective treatment for eating disorders and body image issues involves nuanced conversation about navigating a medical system and a culture preoccupied with weight and size.

I love helping people find an easier way to manage their lives that feels less effortful and more sustainable.

I am highly relational in my work with clients, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply known, seen, and understood. I believe that in the context of such a relationship, hopefulness and change organically take place.

I have experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, including inpatient, residential, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. I combine my clinical expertise and your lived experience and wisdom to provide a collaborative approach to treatment.

Behavior change requires time, effort, and resources. To have all of these things requires immense privilege. Our culture and healthcare systems create barriers to impede treatment and neglect care for individuals who are stigmatized due to the size of their bodies.

We are committed to your understanding that what you are struggling with is not your fault.

The credentials at the end of our names represent our education and training as experts in nutrition and physical therapy. As providers, our priority is to guide you to become the true expert of yourself. This does include rigid rules and unrealistic expectations. You’re behind the wheel and we’ll be the passenger pilot – there to offer you guidance, not make the decision – at Mend Therapy you determine what health means for you.
