Katie Achtyes is a licensed therapist at The Flourishing Collective who specializes in perinatal and postnatal mental health, supporting adults (18+) and couples through the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that accompany pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and reproductive transitions.

Many clients come to Katie feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, anxious, or unsure of themselves during pregnancy or after birth.
