Katie Nail, MS/Ed.S, LCMHC

Since 2007, I have had the honor of working with a diverse clientele of youth and their families from the elementary to the high school setting in a school counseling position. As a school counselor, I have worked with countless young people and their families as they navigate the struggles that come with life. Working in a public school has also afforded me the opportunity to understand the experience of a school employee. Having spent so many years working in the public schools, I am able to offer a unique perspective to Full Life Counseling clients. As a clinician at Full Life, I enjoy working with youth and adults and understand the difficulties that may arise in navigating mental health needs. I often encounter clients struggling with the effects of ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, job stress, and social isolation. Whatever the struggle, I am committed to meeting my clients where they are and walking alongside them with intention and purpose towards wellness.

I believe in the healing power of relationships, and I work to make connections with clients to ensure they feel safe, heard, and cared for as we work to meet their counseling goals. I primarily use a person-centered approach with the understanding that, at times, actionable steps are necessary for growth. With younger children, I incorporate a child-centered play therapy approach to allow for expression that is in keeping with their developmental needs.

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2002 and my master’s in counseling from UNC-Greensboro in 2007. My husband and three school-aged children keep me happy and busy in my time away from work, where you will often find me on a soccer field. Additionally, I love traveling, hiking, and new adventures with family and friends.

As a member of the Full Life team, I am excited to serve children, youth, and adults as we walk together towards your goals and well-being. I am here to serve you, and I look forward to getting to know you as we embark on this adventure together.
