Katie Schloss
AM, LSW
Psychotherapist
Katie Schloss, AM, LSW (she/her) is a Licensed Social Worker helping entrepreneurs, professionals, writers, survivors, and current patients navigate transitions. The uncertainty of the “in-between,” as it’s often called, can be an anxiety-riddled time—one with many peaks and valleys—and through client-centered, solutions-focused, evidence-based practices, Katie helps her clients traverse the highs and lows involved in life experiences.
Katie is known for creating a warm, supportive environment, helping her clients get from where they are right now to where they most want to be. Getting curious about and reframing anxiety, Katie helps her clients find the courage to look within, tell their stories, and handle anything that comes their way.
Katie earned her Bachelor of Arts from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with concentrations in business administration and design in 2010. After experiencing entrepreneurial success as well as the greatly unexpected hardships of being a brain tumor survivor, she understood that she wanted to help folks stuck in the valley find their way back on the mountain trail. This led Katie to the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy. Katie also has experience working at UChicago Medicine, where she worked as an Adult Inpatient Social Worker.
