Get to Know Katrina Keebler
How did I get into this career?
Three pivotal moments in my life contributed to me becoming a counselor: the death of my dad, the divorce of my marriage, and the three-month trip I took to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This sounds very “Eat, Pray, Love,” which was not intended. However, I think that story is so popular because we can all relate to the idea that life can lead us on a journey we did not expect or originally intend, and yet beauty can be found even in pain and despair. We are resilient.
Counseling was instrumental in my healing journey both after my dad died and my marriage ended. The ability to come, as I was, share my experiences and emotions with another person, and not feel shame allowed me to discover who I am and love who I am. There is power in vulnerability.
I traveled to the Congo with a non-profit organization and learned the power of being present with another human being. There is power in demonstrating love, connection, and togetherness. We are so alike even amidst such significant differences. We are not alone.
What is my favorite thing about counseling?
It’s truly an honor and privilege to be a counselor and come alongside you as you begin your healing journey, wherever you may be in that journey. I love celebrating wins and progress, no matter how seemingly small they may be. There are no small wins! I know and appreciate the challenges clients overcome to show up each week and share of themselves.
What do I like to do when I'm not at Atlanta Wellness Collective?
When I’m not at work, I’m with my family. I have a two-year-old who keeps my husband and me running around non-stop. We love to spend days out on the lake or bike-riding on trails. I’m highly competitive and love a good game night with friends. I also almost always have a podcast on or am listening/dancing to music.
What do I hope for my clients?
I hope my clients know they’re not alone and are worthy of love. My goal is to provide a space in which clients feel safe and free to show up as they are. I hope my clients feel a genuine connection with me and can breathe a sigh of relief after our first session, knowing sometimes beginning is the hardest part.
