Katie Brammer, PhD, LPC

Katie Brammer, PhD, LPC, (She, Her, Hers) holds an M.S. in  Counselor Education from Missouri State University and PhD in Counselor Education from the University of New Mexico. She has a background as both a Mental Health Clinician and School Counselor. Viewing her teaching, scholarship, counseling, and supervisory practices as holistic and collaborative, Katie tailors transformational approaches into her work with the anticipation that needs of each individual are met. She is intentional about providing trauma-informed spaces focused on cultural humility—spaces that value and actively listen to the voices of those who are being impacted. She advocates for diverse voices to be seen and heard—their contributions help make advances toward systemic change, and aspires to create change agents that support improving historically marginalized communities on local, national, and global levels. As such, she continues to critically evaluate and unlearn her own socialized biases, blind spots, and stereotypical beliefs while encouraging others to do the same. Specifically, Katie’s work with folx who are Transgender and Gender Expansive, in addition to those whose affectional orientation or romantic attraction defy heteronormativity, continues to influence her own individual work as a developing antiracist, culturally responsive Counselor Educator, scholar, counselor, and supervisor continually progressing toward being a better human all the time.
