Katie Gleason, LCSW

I provide individual therapy services and Autism, OCD and ADHD assessments for adolescents and adults who reside in Arizona. My aim is to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported and respected. I value a flexible and authentic approach. The comfortability and trust you feel in our relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy and assessment. I often work with individuals who have experienced complex trauma and need support around anxiety and self-esteem. Many of my clients live at the intersections of complex trauma, neurodiversity/neurocomplexity and historically excluded and targeted identities. I specialize in working with high-masking neurodiverse individuals who may have been missed as children and misdiagnosed as adults: those whose experiences are nuanced and layered. I am trained in EMDR, mindfulness and somatic experiencing and draw from these integrative practices in therapy sessions to assist in building a felt sense of wholeness and resilience. I also often use self-compassion, narrative and internal family systems approaches. My lived experience as an AuDHD, queer, mixed race person familiar with illness informs my work. I operate from a clinical framework that is non-pathologizing, queer affirming, neurodivergent affirming and body liberation and collective liberation oriented. When I am not working, you can probably find me immersed in one of my many interests - writing, baking, creating art, tending to and propagating my houseplants, and endurance running and slow hiking through the deserts of Tucson. You can email me (katiegleasonlcsw@gmail.com) or text me (520-428-4602) to set up a consultation, initial session or assessment.
