Real Tools for Real Change
Hi, I'm Katie Hummel, MSW, LCSW
Whether you're caught in the loop of OCD, overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying old trauma, struggling in your relationship, or just feeling like you've lost confidence in yourself — you don't have to figure it out alone.
I specialize in OCD and anxiety using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) — the gold-standard treatment that helps you stop avoiding and start living. I also draw on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and talk therapy to help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and build real tools for change. I'm also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and self-esteem work, processing stuck memories at the root rather than just managing symptoms.
I also work with couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in the same fight on repeat — and want to find a real path forward together.
I'm an empathetic, straightforward, and down-to-earth therapist. Therapy with me is a real conversation — a place where you can come as you are, feel genuinely understood, and start building the tools to move forward.
Individual sessions are $135. Couples sessions are $225. I offer a free 45-minute consultation.

I do not think I have the proper words for how life saving Katie is! I have seen many therapists before and Katie has given me the tools to regain control of my life. OCD used to rule me but with Katie I have started living my life to the fullest even with OCD! Each session is tailored to me and what is going on in my world. She challenges me in ways I did not know possible, but the growth is worth it! Katie is truly one of kind and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their mental health!

Working with Katie means you will be met with warmth, endearing personality and true empathy. Her skills in helping individuals navigating OCD and anxiety are unparalleled as she truly knows how to meet her clients where they are at in therapy. She also does incredible work with couples who want to learn how to become unstuck in their unhelpful patterns. Her passion shines through and she is a therapist her clients can count on to be intentional, thorough and, above all, compassionate.

Katie is incredibly down-to-earth and compassionate, but also very insightful, and helps you really get to the root of what is going on. She is super knowledgeable about mental health, especially anxiety, OCD, and relationship issues. If you are looking for a thoughtful therapist in St. Petersburg, she is wonderful. I cannot recommend Katie enough!

If you are looking for someone who listens deeply, challenges you with compassion, and truly honors your story — this is the therapist you want in your corner! It has been over two years since I started working with Katie, and I can honestly say it has been life-changing. Together, we have unpacked and worked through deep-rooted generational trauma that I did not even realize I was carrying. They have helped me find my voice and set my boundaries.

Katie is the absolute best. I have been doing therapy with her for a while now, and I am a different person than I was! Katie is caring, kind, funny, and makes you feel normal and heard. I could not imagine anyone else being my therapist. I highly recommend Katie for any therapy!

Katie Hummel has been incredibly helpful in teaching and encouraging me to work through my anxieties and live the life I have always been too fearful to live. Since seeing her, I am a version of myself that I never thought I would be and I am so grateful for that! She is a great listener, speaker, teacher, and motivator. I highly recommend seeing her if you struggle with social anxiety, OCD, or childhood traumas.
