Reviews of Lakes Counseling Center, LLC (Psychologist)

Marinna Marotta

I used to do counseling here before some events took place in my life and I moved, which included moving to a completely different counselor. When coming here, my counselor was Katie Hepner. I absolutely loved her after getting to know her. I've always been anxious when it came to counselors/therapists because my anxiety always kinda made me think that information was going to be getting back to my parents, somehow. Now that I am back home, and almost an adult, I'm trying to make choices for myself that will continue to help me moving forward. I miss Katie Hepner a lot and I miss talking to her. Though I never really told her a whole lot, since the anxiety piece was there with one of my parents, I know now that leaving counseling with her was such a poor decision- even if I didn't have a choice with it at the time. I will definitely be looking into coming back here and (hopefully) seeing Katie again because I know, now, that I am 100% ready to help myself and my future whereas, before, I couldn't seem to care about my life. From what I remember, especially with Katie, it's a very open and accepting environment. If it's anything like how it was when I was there, I strongly recommend, as I am hopefully going to be hopefully returning at some point. Although I love my current counselor, there are some things I just can't seem to trust to tell them. I need someone that I won't second guess myself and who I am as a human being.

As a fellow mental health provider I can honestly say Katie Hepner's clinical skills are exceptional. I had the pleasure of working with Katie and was always very impressed with her professionalism, genuine respect for her clients, and passion for her work. I would highly recommend Katie Hepner for your counseling needs!

As a clinician, I only recommend counselors who I know personally and trust to take care of my clients with the same quality of care that I hold myself to. When looking for a counselor, you want to find someone who is not only skilled in their practice, but authentic - look no further! Lakes Counseling Center is run by Katie Hepner, a clinician who I highly recommend when referring clients. Knowing Katie's character and approach, I know that's she's well equipped to help clients with her experience and expertise.

I have had the pleasure of being colleagues with Katie Hepner in the school setting for the last 10 years. She creates impactful and long-lasting relationships with the families and students that she has worked with! Katie has a unique way of incorporating art, journaling and mindfulness practice in the school setting. This has been greatly helpful to our students. Katie has a vast amount of experience with different adolescent issues and is diligent about educating herself and being aware of the latest research-based practices. More than anything, she has a huge heart and is passionate about helping others. I would highly recommend her services to anyone I know!
