Lamplight Counseling

I’m Katelynn

I love nerding out about the nervous system and genuinely enjoy getting to be a therapist. I like reading as well as collecting both new and old books. I have a cheesy sense of humor (a good pun makes my day), and I’m passionate about travel and photography. One of my favorite places I’ve visited is Iceland — its surreal landscapes are absolutely breathtaking. When I’m not exploring new places, you’ll find me relaxing in my hammock with my dogs, admiring my ever-growing collection of houseplants.

My approach to therapy

I use Somatic Experiencing and an attachment-based approach; however, my overall approach will be tailored to meet you exactly where you are in your healing journey. I believe therapy should never feel like too much. The pace and depth of our sessions will always honor the capacity of your nervous system — and evolve as you grow.

Did you just find your therapist?

I believe therapy is a place for laughter as well as tears. This is a place where you can be your most authentic self. So, bring your messy and your memes; it’s all welcome here.

Let’s talk education and experience

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and Texas with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri–St. Louis.

My journey began at a local eating disorder treatment center, where I worked as both an individual and group therapist at the PHP level of care. It was there that I began integrating body-based work into therapy, receiving training in Embodied Recovery Level 1 and discovering my passion for somatic healing.

I went on to join a group private practice, deepening my skills and experience before opening my own practice, Lamplight Counseling, in 2023.

That same year, I completed a three-year training in Somatic Experiencing® and became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I am also an approved provider for beginning level SE students.

In 2025 I completed all four modules of DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience) training, and as a lifelong learner, I’m always exploring what’s next — continuing to grow both personally and professionally in service of the people I work with.
