KATIE BOUNDS, LCSW
Bounds Psychotherapeutic Services, PLLC
Katie (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#C015184) and a Clinical Supervisor to LCSWA’s in the state of North Carolina. Katie’s educational journey began in community college where she earned her Associates Degree in the Arts and where she first gained exposure to a vast range of community resources and supports that inspired her interest in social work. She pursued her Bachelors in Social Work at Campbell University and followed her studies to UNC Chapel Hill where she earned her Master of Social Work.
Relaxed and collaborative, Katie specializes in working with people ages 14 and older experiencing mental health challenges such as OCD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, attachment disorders, PTSD, chronic illness management (especially neurological disorders), life transitions, support system development, time management, gender exploration, religious trauma, grief and bereavement, bipolar disorders, aging, and disordered eating. She uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to best assist her clients in finding the therapeutic style that works for them while addressing needs from several perspectives.​
Katie is an LGBTQIA+ affirming provider. Katie also has experience working with clients from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and desires to operate from a place of cultural humility. ​
Katie enjoys empowering her clients by inviting them to combine their knowledge of self with her clinical knowledge to truly integrate her clients into their own treatment team. Katie works to assist her clients in sculpting therapeutic skills to fit them, not sculpting the client to fit the skills. She will work with her clients to support them in regaining ownership of their emotions, their experiences, their bodies, and their narratives. In the therapeutic space, Katie believes we are all equals who have something to learn and something to offer, a mentality that she also carries into her supervision. She invites her clients to think of therapy as a wet ball of clay that can be sculpted to meet their individual needs each session. She looks forward to working with all who are kind enough to offer their openness to her. Your vulnerability is sacred and so appreciated. ​
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.

Graumann Psychotherapeutic Services, PLLC
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.
If this sounds like you, I’m so glad you’re here & I hope to have the opportunity to work alongside you in your journey home to Self.

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 am an outpatient psychotherapist currently doing virtual telehealth sessions only.
​
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 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.
