Welcome to Authentic Pathways PLLC
At Authentic Pathways I strive to help my clients achieve what I like to call “informed authenticity”. Informed authenticity is when someone is able to be authentic (genuine and true to themselves) while also being informed about how and why they interact with the world in the way that they do, so that they can make decisions that help best serve them.
What to Expect from Me as Your Counselor
Hi, my name is Katie Hewitt! (She/Her)
I have experience working with children, teens and adults. I currently work with adults who are seeking to better understand themselves and their interactions with the world around them. Through counseling, I often support individuals who are neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, educators, college students/young adults, and individuals who are going through big life changes (changing careers, moving to a new town, changes in significant relationships). Through counseling I support individuals as they gain a stronger sense of themselves and a deeper understanding of the control that they have over their own life.
I am patient, passionate, and dedicated to ensuring all of my clients feel safe, validated, and seen. As a neurodivergent counselor, I prioritize curiosity in sessions to help clients find ways to work with their unique brains and circumstances to achieve their goals, whatever they may be.
I provide a safe place for clients to explore emotional regulation, self-expression, and a deeper understanding of oneself in whatever way they find safe and authentic, so that they can see in themselves the greatness that I see in them.

Neurodivergence
(ADHD, Autism, AuDHD)
We live in a world that was not designed with neurodivergent brains in mind. Sometimes things that you are told “should” be easy, are actually very difficult and you may not understand why and think something must be wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you, you just have not yet learned how your brain works. Together, we can work on executive functioning skills, emotional regulation, and finding ways to work with your brain instead of against it.

Educators
Being an educator can be very fulfilling and very stressful. Juggling meetings, lesson plans, parents, grades, student needs, and so much more it may feel like you never have any time or energy left for yourself and your loved ones. Together we can develop systems, strategies, and boundaries that help you navigate work more effectively so you can spend more time doing what you love and less time overwhelmed.

Anxiety
Big life changes, stressful jobs, chronic pain or illness, raising kids, the state of the world, and day to day life stressors are just a few examples of where anxiety can creep in. Together we can work to identify where anxious thoughts originate from, learn how to challenge and disarm anxious thoughts, and develop coping skills to help regulate your nervous system so you can live a more peaceful life.

Young Adults/College Students
There is a lot of change and a lot of opportunities with being a young adult. Going to college, starting a career, living with roommates, navigating relationships can all be overwhelming. I can offer you a safe space while you navigate these big life changes and support you in discovering what you want to do next.
