Katie P. Cougevan, Ph.D

I believe that the ability to overcome obstacles and life issues can occur within a framework of support and positive reframing. I work with students to maximize their life potential and to visualize their lives and chosen paths in a positive direction. In my work I strive to recognize individual difference and frame healing from difficulties within a multicultural context that conveys positive regard and respects life experiences. My style is connecting, warm, understanding and focuses on strength building exercises that encourage growth through reflection and changing patterns that are self-perceived as harmful. I view therapy as a journey that can connect you as a student to reaching your intended destination. I am also a member of the SHCS Gender Care Team.

 

As a manager at Counseling Services, I bring experience and specialization in the areas of Supervision and Training of New Professionals, Psychodynamic Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Work, Feminist Perspectives, Multicultural / Privilege Dynamics, ACT and DBT. In my role I am also focused on the retention of our talented staff and make it a priority to check in with staff about their work satisfaction and goals. I oversee the clinic operations with an eye out for the student experience and make sure to keep our services easy to access. 

 

I work with all students and specialize in the following: Body Image / Self-Esteem Struggles, Anxiety and Identity Issues..
