Katy Langhurst, LCSW is a licenced clinical social worker with a background in child welfare, trauma, adoption-related issues and attachment-based modalities. I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in social work from Aurora University. I have worked alongside children and families throughout my career in various settings. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and being around water. As a mental health therapist, I think the best gift you can give a child is creating a space where they feel comfortable to share and modeling that we all have feelings and all those feelings are okay.
What is the biggest mistake a therapist can make? The biggest mistake a new mental health therapist can make is not believing in themselves and not believing that rapport is the most important part of therapy.
What would people be surprised to know about you? People would be surprised to know that I am good at golf and love playing in my free time.
