Katie Ferring, LMSW
Coralville Office & Telehealth
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with background in crisis intervention and hospice social work. I have had the honor of working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and more. I am especially honored to work with those experiencing perinatal and postpartum challenges including infertility, miscarriage, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum depression. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and I emphasize intersectionality in my therapy approach, acknowledging how class, race, gender, and sexual orientation affect our experience in the world.

I focus on getting to know you as a person before diving into any particular theory, modality, or intervention. For many people experiencing anxiety, depression, or grief, getting out of the mind and reconnecting with the body can be very helpful. For others, simply having a space to talk can be beneficial. You get to decide what feels most comfortable. Above all, I prioritize that clients feel safe, heard, understood, and respected. I provide space for you to show up as yourself without shame or judgment. The best part of this work is getting to know people's true selves and witnessing their growth. With the appropriate support, I believe that each of us is capable of positive change and healing.
