Kathryn Lundy, LPCC

Therapy

I bring a diverse educational foundation to my practice, including a Master of Science degree from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Arts from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have been working in mental health since 2022, with significant experience addressing substance use and trauma. My background as a police officer in Northwest Indiana from 2012 to 2024 provides me with firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by first responders. This professional experience informs my therapeutic approach and allows me to connect authentically with clients who have served in similar capacities. Outside of my professional practice, I enjoy running, spending time outdoors, riding motorcycles, and being with my pack of dogs. These personal interests help me maintain balance and bring authenticity to my therapeutic relationships. Specializations While I work with adults from all backgrounds, I am particularly passionate about supporting first responders, veterans, individuals struggling with addiction & substance abuse, those experiencing anxiety and depression, people processing grief and loss, and survivors of trauma. Therapeutic Approach I believe counseling should be personalized to meet each client's unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. While I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I integrate other therapeutic modalities as appropriate for each individual. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where we can collaboratively work toward your therapeutic goals.
