Start where you are

You don’t have to figure it out before you get here.

You may know exactly why you’re here. You may understand yourself incredibly well and still feel stuck. Or you may have no idea how all the pieces fit together yet.

Your history matters. So do your relationships, culture, environment, responsibilities, resources, and what is happening in your life right now.

Areas of specialization

What I specialize in.

You don’t need to know exactly what to call what you’re experiencing before we start.

OCD & Obsessive Thinking

Intrusive thoughts, doubt, checking, reassurance seeking, replaying, researching, or trying to reason your way to certainty. Treated with ERP and I-CBT.

How I work

What helps depends on what’s actually happening.

Something that helps one person can keep another person stuck.

Thought-challenging can be useful. But if you already spend hours debating with your own mind, more analysis may just give you more to analyze.

The difference matters.

My work draws from I-CBT, ACT, ERP, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. I care about the research, but therapy doesn’t need to feel clinical to be evidence-based.

When we know where we’re going, we can move. You shouldn’t have to spend most of the hour trying to get me to understand the basics before reaching what you actually wanted help with.

Other times, slowing down is the work.

You can understand something from every possible angle and still avoid the part that hurts. We may need to stop analyzing around it and actually go there.

Not just “sit with the discomfort.”
We’ll figure out how to actually do it.
Katie, therapist and founder of Evolve Talk Therapy
KATIE ROBEY, LCSW · EVOLVE TALK THERAPY
The person behind Evolve

Hi, I’m Katie.

I take therapy seriously. I’m not especially formal about it.

I’m an LCSW and the therapist behind Evolve Talk Therapy. I named it that on purpose. I think talk therapy can do more than talk.

I’m active and conversational in session. I ask questions, share what I’m noticing, and challenge you when I think it matters. And I want you to tell me when you disagree.

Pull up the text. Show me the picture. Tell me the side story. Come in with no idea what you want to talk about.
We laugh a lot too.

Over time, there’s less explaining from scratch. We have context. We can pick up the thread and spend more of the hour on what actually matters that day.

I’ve spent years studying and working with the areas I specialize in because I genuinely love this work. I keep learning because people are complicated, and knowing a treatment model is not the same as knowing what to do with the person sitting in front of you.

Therapy can be serious without every minute of it feeling serious.

Ways to work together

Therapy that makes room for the whole picture.

For you

Individual Therapy

The pattern you’ve been trying to understand for years and what happened Tuesday can both belong here.

Therapy can go deep without losing sight of the life you’re actually living.

For the two of you

Couples Therapy

Understand what keeps happening between you, not just who said what in the latest argument.

Your histories, culture, mental health, neurodivergence, expectations, and the life you’ve built together are all part of the picture.

Getting started

See how it feels to talk.

A website can tell you a lot about a therapist. It can’t tell you what it will feel like to talk to them.

That’s what the free 20-minute consultation is for.

Tell me what brought you here. I’ll ask some questions, tell you what I’m thinking, and answer yours.

No preparation. No pressure to schedule afterward.
For clinicians

Supervision, consultation & training.

I offer supervision, consultation, and training for clinicians working through complex cases, developing their clinical judgment, or building deeper skill in the areas I specialize in.
