Katherine Donahue

Katherine Donahue, LISW, provides individual therapy for adults, addressing anxiety, depression, work and academic stress, life transitions, childhood trauma, and family of origin dynamics. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindful Awareness, and mind/body-based approaches, incorporating elements of Polyvagal Theory to support regulation and practical coping.

As a former counselor at the University of Iowa working with college students, teachers, faculty, and staff and as a trauma and emergency surgery social worker at the University of Iowa Hospital, she brings experience across educational and medical settings. That background helps her respond to both acute crises and ongoing stressors.

Katherine’s welcoming, genuine, and straightforward personality style emphasizes hope, humor, and clients’ strengths to support effective, meaningful change. She tailors care to each person’s goals and welcomes first-time and returning therapy seekers.
