I’m Katlyn Michaels, LCSW, a therapist who specializes in grief and trauma. This space is for anyone navigating loss, especially when grief feels complicated, overwhelming, or tied to trauma.

I believe grief deserves to be met with compassion and honesty, not clichés or timelines. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care and shaped by creativity and humanity. Sometimes that looks like slowing down to reconnect with your body, sometimes it’s through writing or reflection, and often it’s simply knowing you don’t have to carry this alone.

Here you’ll find resources, reflections, and education created to support both grievers and the professionals who walk beside them. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more understood and a little less alone in what you are carrying.
