Who we are

Hi, I’m Katherine Conley, the founder of Creative Connections Family Counseling, PLLC, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate #205233, supervised by R. Renee Cameron Hernandez, Phd, LMFTS #202586, LPCS#73875, NCC. I have a passion for helping people heal, reconnect, and grow. I’ve always believed that love alone isn’t always enough—healthy relationships also need understanding, communication, and safety. I work with adults, couples, and families to navigate the deeper issues that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have a passion for professional development and research, ensuring I stay up to date on evidence based practices. I’m trained in EMDR, and in Gottman Method Levels 1 & 2, including their specialized models for treating trauma, affairs, and addictions in couples. My approach blends evidence-based techniques like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and techniques from play therapy, tailored to the needs of each client.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent six years in education, which deepened my appreciation for the challenges families face in and out of the classroom. I’m also a parent and a military spouse of nine years, which gives me a personal understanding of the stress, resilience, and transitions that come with military life.

I’m here to help you communicate more clearly, heal what’s still hurting, and rediscover the connection you’ve been missing—with yourself and with the people who matter most.
