Couples Therapy
For relationships in transition or in search of deeper connection. Couples sessions offer a structured yet compassionate space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and rediscover shared purpose together.
Groups & Corporate
Tailored workshops and sessions for teams, organisations, and communities seeking greater emotional intelligence, resilience, and cohesion. Rooted in psychological insight and human connection.
"In my early professional years, I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth? ... It seems to me that the good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination."

Who You'll Meet
Katie Dumm, MA, MSc, LPCC
Founder & Psychotherapist | Boulder, Colorado
Katie holds two master’s degrees and brings a background spanning science, humanities, and psychology. Her clinical work is informed by extensive training across contemplative, existential, creative, and cognitive therapies, as well as lived experience with significant life transitions, chronic stress, and serious illness including treatment for stage III cancer.
Her therapeutic style is collaborative, thoughtful, and flexible. Katie works especially well with adults who are reflective, curious, and open to exploring new ways of relating to themselves and their experiences. Clients often appreciate her ability to integrate psychological insight, mindfulness, philosophical inquiry, and creative exploration in a way that feels grounded and human.
As Starling Psychotherapy grows, the practice will expand to include clinicians who share these values: trauma-informed care, presence and attunement, intellectual curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s innate capacity for growth and wholeness.
A Place to Land.
A Place to Begin.
Taking the first step toward healing is a powerful act of care.
At Starling Psychotherapy, we offer a space where you can speak freely, without judgment; a space to explore what matters, to reconnect with yourself, and to experience the bright, quiet moments of change that begin to emerge when you feel truly seen.
