Katrin holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Washington Adventist University and uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each client. She is a research associate with Dr. Robert M. Post, contributing to studies on pediatric bipolar disorder, and is one of the few U.S. clinicians trained in Family-Focused Therapy for Bipolar Disorder (FFT-BD).
