Katie Jensen, MSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Hi there – my name is Katie and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in St. Louis. I have certifications as a Clinical Trauma Professional and a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

• I specialize in working with teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed with anxiety and self-criticism and are struggling with a draining desire to be perfect. I am a good fit for families who understand that therapy is often a long-term commitment. 

• My therapy style is also a good fit for adults who are navigating new life transitions and exploring their unique identity. 

I’ve been working in mental health for nine years and have been in a variety of roles before earning my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in 2018 and becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2022. 

I have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings and I have witnessed the overwhelming importance of human connection. Because of this, I value building safe, supportive, and genuine therapeutic relationships by utilizing a trauma-informed approach. I strive to be consistent, honest, and accepting in order to build a comfortable therapeutic space for clients to be vulnerable with their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I like to hold space for clients who have had negative interactions with mental health professionals in the past.

What does this all mean? I want therapy to be a safe and comfortable space for you. It can be hard to trust someone and I hope we can build that trust together. In session, I use therapeutic interventions that will best support you. You’ll mostly find me practicing from a Strength-Based and Humanistic perspective while using Person-Centered techniques and sprinkling in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy here and there.

Compensation

I accept Cigna, Aetna, UHC, Medicare, Medicaid, Ambetter and HSH insurance, self-pay and can provide superbills.
