Katherine "Katie" Farner, LPC

Katherine "Katie" Farner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life challenges. She is licensed to practice in both Arizona and Georgia and brings a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to each person’s unique needs.

In addition to her LPC credential, she is a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, a qualification that denotes specialized training in using play as a therapeutic tool for children and in supervising other clinicians who work with youth. Katie works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, financial concerns, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, social anxiety, and women's issues.

Katie aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored safely. She emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques and tailors interventions to each client’s goals and values. Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Katie honors that decision while partnering with clients to build clearer direction and sustainable coping strategies.
