Media & Articles | Dr. Katie Carhart
There is an overwhelming amount of mental health and wellness information circulating online, much of it oversimplified, misleading, or not grounded in research. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe people deserve access to accurate, evidence-based information about mental health, delivered in a way that feels human, relatable, and usable in real life.
Through writing, media interviews, podcasts, and educational content, I translate psychological research and clinical concepts into practical insights that help people better understand their mental health, nervous systems, emotions, relationships, and patterns, without fear-based messaging or quick-fix promises. My goal is not to replace therapy, but to increase mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and support greater self-awareness and informed care.
My expertise has been featured in national publications including Forbes Health, Verywell Mind, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, and Real Simple, where I have contributed insights on topics including anxiety and stress, trauma, burnout, nervous-system regulation, ADHD and neurodivergence, relationships, and emotional well-being.
