Meet the Therapist:
Kathrina Cann, LMHC-QS, IEDAS-C
My name is Kathrina Cann, and I am the founder and owner of Nourished Minds Therapy and Consulting. I received my Master's in Clinical Counseling from the University of Central Florida in 2014 (go Knights!) and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I have returned to UCF to pursue my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, where I am excited to contribute more inclusive research to the field of psychotherapy and support the development of future counselors in treating complex, often overlooked presentations of trauma and related disorders.
Additional trainings and certifications include:
EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist™
EMDRIA Approved Consultant™
EMDRIA Facilitator-in-Training™
Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist & Consultant (IEDAS-C)
Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
Certified School Counselor
I have a special passion in the treatment of trauma, eating disorders, self-esteem issues, anxiety, dissociation, and depression. Due to my own lived experience, I tend to connect well with clients who may be "high-achieving" or appear "fine" on the outside, yet struggle to feel a sense of peace underneath. I believe mental health is greatly influenced by our cultural, communal, and social environments, so I am committed to providing a safe and culturally responsive space. My background working in community mental health, private practice, university settings, and schools provided me with a wide range of experience supporting youth and adults with their mental health needs.
When I am not in session, you are typically going to find me spending time with close friends and family (#extroverted.introvert), visiting local restaurants and parks, globetrotting, trying (and failing!) to finish my latest 'must read' or 'must watch' before starting the next, and hanging out with my fur and feather babies at home.
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to individual client needs, meaning the approach(s) we use and the pace of sessions are informed through ongoing collaboration. My specializations include EMDR, EMDR Intensives, Internal Family Systems, DBT, Intuitive Eating, CBT, and ACT. My counseling style is warm, direct, personable and strength-based as I am an avid believer that everyone, with the right support, can tap into their own unique ability to live a meaningful life.
