Therapy for adults, children, and families

---

Hi, I’m Katie McDougall-Powers. I am a trauma informed therapist located in Elmhurst,IL. I provide counseling for adults and children, parenting support, and family therapy.

With over 20 years of experience, I support children, adults, and families through healing, growth, and life transitions. My background spans school settings, inpatient mental health, long-term care, and community work, shaping a compassionate, practical, and whole-person approach to therapy.

I work with adults navigating relationships, career changes, parenting, trauma, caregiving, and identity shifts, as well as children and families building emotional resilience, communication, and connection. I specialize in helping clients move through transitions, process past experiences, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach integrates CBT, strengths-based work, trauma-informed care, family systems, and evidence-based relationship strategies. My style is collaborative, warm, and direct—with room for humor. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I’m here to help you build clarity, confidence, and lasting growth.
