Meet The Therapist

Katie Fleuriet

About Me:

I view therapy as an opportunity for people to explore greater self-awareness and develop skills and tools to make positive changes in their life. I have a particular interest in both perinatal/postpartum mental health as well as adolescence. These are both times when individuals undergo significant changes both internally as well as in their environment, and I truly enjoy helping people navigate these new paths.

While some make the decision to begin therapy easily, for others it is a big decision and can be a little nerve racking. I use a warm, non-judgmental approach and let clients guide our time together. And, I try to put those nerves at ease by making sure I’m meeting clients where they are. If they are ready and eager to jump into work, great! If they have questions and aren’t sure where to begin, that’s okay too! I want to make sure our sessions are purposeful and productive. Clients find I check-in often to make sure our work is meeting their needs.

I moved back to the Twin Cities in 2016 after spending some time away living in various parts of the country. When I’m not working with clients I’m busy exploring the Twin Cities, getting fresh air, spending time with my two little kids, and going on walks with my big scruffy dog.
