I'm Katie Lynn Brodie, MS, LMFT, a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of experience. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand what they're experiencing, recognize unhelpful patterns, and practice skills that support lasting change.
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, substance-use concerns, grief and loss, and relationship transitions. I aim to offer a warm, respectful space where you can speak openly and work toward goals that are meaningful to you.
