Welcome to Terrapin Counseling! My name is Katie McCabe, and after 30 years as a clinician in Baltimore County, I've opened my own counseling practice. I have extensive experience counseling both adolescents and adults in outpatient and inpatient settings. I specialize in supporting individuals in early recovery from substance use disorder and those who are dually diagnosed. I am also very well-versed in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and those from the LGBTQ+ community. I also have experience working with neurodiverse teenagers and adults, whether they are ADHD, Autistic, or AuDHD. As a parent of teenagers with Autism and ADHD, I understand this experience firsthand. Throughout my career and in my personal life, I've attended countless IEP and other meetings, advocating for services as either a parent or part of the treatment team. I truly enjoy working with my neurodivergent clients and supporting parents on their own journeys. During our sessions, I often use humor and psychoeducation as I'm a storyteller at heart. I believe it's crucial for clients to feel positively supported and have a clear understanding of the issues that led them to counseling. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you achieve your goals. It takes a great deal of courage to seek counseling, and I applaud you for investing in yourself.
