Catie Krakow, M.S., RMHCI
Catie earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in December 2024 — a CACREP-accredited program that's considered the gold standard in counselor education. She has been providing diagnostic evaluations, intake evaluations, and in-person and virtual counseling — for individuals and couples — since December 2023, and she has experience working as a co-located therapist in a Palm Beach County middle school. She is supervised by Candace Lake, M.S., LMHC, NCC, QS, CCATP.
Catie works with preteens (12+), teens, adults, and couples. Her clinical focus is anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationships. She's been particularly effective with teens managing anxiety, depression, self-harm urges, and the emotional weight of growing up in a world that often feels too loud. With couples, she brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence to help partners rebuild communication, navigate transitions, and address concerns ranging from resentment to infidelity recovery.
Her approach pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and positive psychology — modalities that help clients align their lives with their values, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build sustainable habits. She also offers walk-and-talk therapy, which can be especially powerful for teens with ADHD or anyone who processes better in motion.
Why this work
My own experiences with trauma, anxiety, and grief during my teen years are what inspired me to become a therapist. I went through a hard season as a teenager, and the therapist who helped me through it changed the course of my life. I became a counselor to do the same for someone else.
I work with teens especially because I remember being one — navigating peer relationships, social media, identity, and hard things you don't have the words for yet. I bring that perspective into every session.
