Katy Schoen, LPC

Katy Schoen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia who brings four years of clinical experience to her work with adults. She holds national and trauma-focused certifications as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC #1584398) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP #265640), and she earned degrees in psychology and counseling, including a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from West Virginia University and an M.S. in Developmental Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University. These qualifications inform a strengths-based approach that helps clients build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of trauma.

Katy works with a wide range of concerns such as relationship and family difficulties, grief, career and life transitions, self-esteem and body image, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting veterans. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and intimacy-related struggles. Her style is laid back, compassionate, and grounded in respect for the client - she uses an appropriate sense of humor and centers the client as the expert on their own life while offering tools to meet personal goals.

Katy provides a welcoming space for Jewish clients and acknowledges cultural challenges including rising antisemitism. She does not offer Christian-based counseling, does not work with couples, and does not see clients under 18. Prospective clients can expect collaborative work focused on identifying strengths and making decisions that suit their current life circumstances.
