Meet Katie Chin, MA, LPC
Welcome! I'm Katie Chin, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience serving the Greater Milwaukee area. My work spans across various levels of care within behavioral health settings, including inpatient, partial, and intensive outpatient programs.
A Wisconsin native, I earned my BA in Psychology and Criminology from Marquette University in 2005. I completed my MA in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2009. My specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-informed care treating anxiety disorders, depression and mood concerns, ADHD, social skills, relational stress, and behavioral goals. My experience includes working with children (ages 3+), adolescents, and adults.
My passion for counseling stems from a deep curiosity about people and a desire to be a supportive resource in a community that I love. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe and empowered. Together, we'll build insight, develop coping skills, and take meaningful steps toward your personal goals.
Outside of my clinical work, I am a proud mom, wife, and the youngest of six siblings. These roles have all shaped my perspective and deepened my empathy, reminding me daily the importance of patience, connection, and resilience. I also find joy in walks outside, exploring nutritious recipes in the kitchen, and spending cozy weekends with my family. Recently, I started playing pickle ball – something I have wanted to try for years – and I'm loving it.

Treatment
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. This structured approach teaches you how to reframe negative thinking and adopt healthier ways of coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT integrates mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies to help manage intense emotions, reduce distress, and improve relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used for anxiety, mood disorders, and interpersonal challenges.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
PCIT is an effective intervention for improving communication and strengthening the bond between parents and young children (typically ages 2–7) when struggling with emotional and behavioral regulation.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and other anxiety disorders. Clients are gradually exposed to anxiety-provoking situations while learning to resist compulsions and avoidance, allowing their anxiety to naturally decrease over time.
Behavior Activation
Behavior Activation Theory focuses on helping individuals engage in the behaviors and activities that are meaningful and rewarding to them. Behavior Activation is often used to treat symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions, as it helps individuals break the cycle of avoidance and inactivity that can reinforce these symptoms.
