Katie Douglass, LCSW-R

Clinical Supervision & Consultation

I have over 16 years of experience providing clinical & programmatic supervision to:

• LCSW, LMSW, & LMHC clinicians

• Case Managers, Harm Reduction Counselors,  HIV Counselors & Testers and other Social Service Support Staff

• Directors of Mental Health, Community Health, and Case Management programs
   

​​I provide weekly & bi-weekly, group supervision to client-facing/front line staff.

I also offer programmatic support to non-profits and can assist with program startup, senior staff on-boarding and quality improvement projects. Recent topics for which I offered program support include:

​

• Electronic Health Record Implementation & Workflow Improvement

• New York State, Outpatient Mental Health (Article 31) Regulatory Compliance

• Program redesign and implementation

Telepsychotherapy
Currently not accepting new patients - but keeping a waitlist 

My style is warm, active, and authentic.  Starting therapy is hard, so my priority is for you to feel relaxed, understood, and comfortable in early sessions.  I welcome laughter and questions in therapy. With a background in LGBTQ+ public health, I am sensitive to the challenges and stressors that come with living outside cisgender/hetero norms.

​

I tend to be a good fit for people looking to address core negative beliefs, or taking a big step in life - like starting social/physical transition or becoming an LGBTQ+ parent.  I frequently use EMDR (an evidenced-based treatment) to help clients feeling "stuck," anxious, or looking to resolve trauma or painful relationship patterns. In addition, I incorporate the following approaches in my work:

​

• Psycho-dynamic

• Cognitive-Behavioral 

• Motivational Interviewing & Harm Reduction

• Subjugated Knowledge​ - valuing the wisdom and skills we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture

​

I am an Out of Network provider with the "R" priviliege. ​

• Informed Consent Model of Care for People of Transgender Experience

• Client De-escalation 

• Harm Reduction and Motivational Interviewing Techniques w/LGBTQ community

I tailor training materials and format to each audience and am available for topic-specific or on-going training initiatives.
