Meet Katelyn Murphy – Here to Help You Thrive in College and Beyond

College can be exciting, challenging, overwhelming—and everything in between. Between classes, relationships, jobs, and figuring out what’s next, it’s easy to feel stressed, anxious, or stuck. That’s where Katelyn Murphy comes in.

Katelyn is a caring, down-to-earth therapist who specializes in helping college students navigate the ups and downs of this unique stage of life. She understands that college isn’t just about academics—it’s about finding yourself, managing independence, and handling the pressures that come with big life transitions. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, low motivation, relationship struggles, homesickness, or just feeling “off,” Katelyn provides a safe, supportive space to talk it through.

Her approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. You’re the expert on your life—Katelyn is here to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, build coping skills, and create a path forward that feels right for you. She blends practical strategies with genuine empathy, so you’ll leave each session with both understanding and tools you can use right away.

What makes Katelyn stand out is her ability to connect with students in a way that feels real and approachable. She knows that reaching out for help can be intimidating, so she works hard to make the process comfortable and stress-free. Sessions with Katelyn feel like a conversation with someone who truly “gets” you—no pressure, no judgment, just support.

She’s especially passionate about helping students:

Manage stress and anxiety around academics, performance, or the future

Navigate changes in friendships, dating, and family dynamics

Build confidence and self-esteem

Cope with homesickness or culture shock

Find balance between school, work, and personal life

Katelyn believes mental health care should feel empowering—not like another item on your to-do list. She’ll help you discover your strengths, break down overwhelming challenges into manageable steps, and remind you that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

If you’ve been thinking, “I should probably talk to someone,” this is your sign. Whether you need a few sessions to get back on track or ongoing support to help you through a tough season, Katelyn is here to walk alongside you.

Reaching out is the first step—and it’s a strong one. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You just need to take that first step toward feeling better.

You belong here. Your story matters. And Katelyn Murphy is ready to help you write the next chapter.
