Katie Carhart, PhD

I am a clinical psychologist with 13+ years of experiencing helping adults and couples find calm, clarity, and connection through a trauma-focused, neurodivergence-affirming approach.

Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based approaches that honor both mind and body. I specialize in helping high-achieving, sensitive, or neurodivergent adults who feel disconnected from themselves: stuck in cycles of anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, or perfectionism, to reconnect with their inner clarity and build lives that feel authentic and sustainable.

My work draws from polyvagal theory, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. I also offer ADHD and psychological testing for diagnostic clarification and treatment planning. Many clients come to me seeking both insight and action: wanting to understand why they feel the way they do, and to develop tangible tools for change.

At Align & Empower Therapy, I offer telehealth sessions for clients in Arizona, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, DC, Maryland, Illinois, Florida, Virginia and Colorado via PSYPACT. I offer a flexible, personalized therapy experience designed around your needs, helping you cultivate greater ease, resilience, and self-trust, so you can live more fully in alignment with your values and vision for your life.

My practice is private pay, which means I don't accept insurance directly; however, I provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance to request partial reimbursement through your Out of Network benefits. I partner with Reimbursify which helps you to get an estimate of the amount you are likely to be reimbursed, and which helps you to submit the superbill to your insurance each month.

I always offer free brief consultations so you can ask questions and ensure we’re a good fit before moving forward. You can reach out via e-mail or phone, or use my online booking calendar, to schedule a time to talk!
