KATIE BOUNDS, LCSW
Bounds Psychotherapeutic Services, PLLC
Katie (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#C015184) and Clinical Supervisor for LCSWAs in North Carolina. Her educational journey began at community college, where she earned her Associate of Arts degree and first discovered her passion for social work through exposure to a wide range of community resources and support systems. She went on to earn her Bachelor of Social Work from Campbell University and her Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Relaxed and collaborative in her approach, Katie works with high school–aged teenagers, adults, and more seasoned adults (65+) navigating mental health challenges. She specializes in supporting individuals experiencing OCD, depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, and PTSD. Katie is particularly passionate about working with clients managing chronic illnesses—especially neurological conditions—and co-occurring mood disorders as she herself has a chronic illness and has empathy for facing the healthcare system while trying to honor one’s internal experience.
Her clinical interests also include life transitions (such as preparing for college, becoming an empty nester, or adjusting to significant loss), religious trauma and faith transitions, grief and bereavement—including grief of those we miss and those who are missing, grief of expectations, and grief of plans—,aging and identity shifts during the aging process, and disordered eating. Katie cares deeply about supporting those from complex family dynamics, as well, who find themselves fighting their upbringing and/or running from it.
Some additional populations of care and concern for her are fellow social workers and therapists, helping professionals, athletes, college students, retirees/those approaching retirement age, and people from rural upbringings.
Katie is an LGBTQIA+ affirming provider and works with individuals from a plethora of cultural backgrounds. She strives to practice with cultural humility, recognizing the importance of honoring each client’s lived experience.
Katie is trained in multiple evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Somatic-Informed Internal Family Systems (IFS). She integrates these approaches thoughtfully, drawing from various perspectives to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and preferences.
Katie believes therapy works best as a collaborative partnership. She empowers clients to combine their self-knowledge with her clinical expertise, positioning them as active members of their own treatment team. Rather than shaping clients to fit therapeutic techniques, she helps shape therapeutic skills to fit each client. Her goal is to support individuals in reclaiming ownership of their emotions, experiences, bodies, and narratives.
In both therapy and supervision, Katie views the therapeutic space as one of mutual respect—where everyone has something to learn and something to offer. She invites clients to think of therapy as a ball of clay, shaped together each session to meet evolving needs. She looks forward to working with those willing to share their vulnerability, honoring it as something sacred and deeply valued.
In her spare time, she enjoys paddle boarding, spending time with her dog (always feel free to ask for pictures of her “co-therapist”), going to farmers markets, and trying new foods.

You are hoping to understand how early experiences shaped you and how to guide the unprocessed energy in your body to a safety in the present. You may “know what’s wrong” or “how it happened” but struggle to break out of old patterns that feel locked in place. You are ready to explore and get curious toward the burdened parts of yourself that may have been your protection or solace from the world around you.

MOLLY SCHWEERS, LCMHC
Molly Schweers Counseling, PLLC
Your needs matter. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to take up space. I’ll invite you to read that again and notice how your body responds. Any discomfort? Tension? Numbness or checking out? However your body is responding makes sense. Being in the body can be painful and scary when needs have not been met for a long time. In our work together, the practice of returning to the body is not just about finding new ways to ease the pain, but about allowing your pain to be heard.
My name is Molly Schweers (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (13718). I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder and my Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling and Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
I enjoy working with individuals who hold a lot of tension in their body, dissociate or numb often, and consistently feel overstimulated. I have experience with self-proclaimed people pleasers, highly sensitive people, and neurodivergent folks. I also work with those who have experienced trauma of varying degrees, most specifically attachment, sexual, and religious trauma. The skeleton or structure of my practice includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), Constructed Awareness, Somatic and Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (SAFE EMDR), Polyvagal-Informed Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which are the more well known and societally accepted practices with roots from various indigenous cultural practices and their healing rituals. The soul of my practice is my intuition, empathy, and sensitivities based on what is showing up in the room. I also welcome healing rituals from your culture and ancestry.
I’m a queer, neurodivergent therapist learning to unmask in the therapeutic process in order to establish a more authentic human connection as we explore themes of attachment wounds and trauma individually, generationally, and collectively. I’m passionate about decolonizing the therapeutic space, which includes non-pathologizing and acknowledging systems of oppression including capitalism and white supremacy culture. I’m consistently in the process of learning and unlearning and trying to step away from urgency culture and perfectionism. I also center consent throughout the process and use a non-violent approach, which means I honor and hold space for the emotions showing up in your system rather than trying to change them or tell you what emotions you should be experiencing.
In my free time I read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi and books on decolonizing, paint, go on hikes/nature walks as much as possible, work on building my community, watch my comfort shows, and engage in my current hyperfocus of the moment.
