Press for Katie Lear, LCMHC, RPT, RDT
Hi! I’m Katie Lear, a counselor, play therapist, and drama therapist specializing in childhood anxiety and trauma.
In addition to my face-to-face work with kids and families, I write and speak about children’s mental health. My book, A Parent’s Guide to Managing Childhood Grief, was featured in The New York Times.
I’m a contributing author at Moms.com, and I have been featured in over 50 magazines and websites including WebMD, Parents, Healthline, Bustle, Business Insider, Scary Mommy, and Medium.
You can find a collection of my press features, articles, and podcast interviews below!
