Katie Marble, LPC-MHSP
EMDR Certified
Trauma Therapist in Tennessee
I graduated with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018 and have worked in a variety of settings since then. Each experience has shaped me and ultimately led me to what I consider my “dream job” today—helping individuals heal from trauma, reconnect with their core self, and find relief from distress.
​
My work as a therapist has also been deeply shaped by my own life. In 2021, my husband and I began fostering, eventually adopting while also becoming biological parents along the way. Walking through foster care, adoption, and parenthood has stretched and grown me in ways I never expected. It’s given me a deeper compassion and understanding of the challenges people face, and it continues to influence the way I show up for my clients.
In therapy, my goal isn’t to change who you are. Instead, it’s to help you see yourself more clearly and tap into the strengths that are already within you. My EMDR training and certification has had a big impact on my approach—it’s built on the belief that “no behavior is maladaptive” and that our systems are naturally wired for healing and adaptation. Sometimes trauma gets in the way of that natural process, and that’s where therapy can help. It’s an incredible privilege to witness clients beginning to view themselves through a new, more compassionate lens as they heal right in front of me.
​
I’ve also been strongly influenced by the work of Robyn Gobbel, whose wisdom has shaped both my professional approach and my personal life in meaningful ways. She teaches on the ins and outs of trauma, shaping me in huge ways as a trauma therapist.

Client Testimonies
"Having Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, I had tried multiple types of medication and therapy to help control it with very little success. A friend who was well-versed in EMDR mentioned it to me as they felt like I was dealing with symptoms of unsettled trauma. With little faith, I decided it could not hurt and scheduled my first session. I was apprehensive at first as I did not want to be hypnotized or out of control. This has truly been a life-changer for me. I did not feel that I had anything traumatic to process but found quickly that the brain gets stuck on processing some events in your past. Katie has been a wonderful EMDR specialist who has helped explain the what and the why as well as guided me through putting countless memories to rest. I am doing things now that were impossible when I started EMDR, I have a new level of confidence that I thought I had lost forever, and great coping skills to continue to push further from home. EMDR is getting to the very root of the problem and fixing it for good, one memory at a time."
Client 1
"Katie made sure that I had established grounding techniques before we began EMDR. For me, it was an intense process, but Katie made sure that we went at a pace I could cope well with during sessions, and I had a great support team for working through the triggers I was dealing with before, during and after sessions. EMDR was a tool that helped me feel physical release from traumas in my past, as well as a new understanding of my personal history. Katie and I worked to reframe experiences I have had and to project solutions that helped me realize I'm no longer in the vulnerable positions I was in when many of my traumas took place. I thank God all the time for the freedom I have found in my body and mind due to the tool of EMDR and Katie's expertise.”
Client 2
Finding a therapist that can be a daunting task. It’s not always easy to find someone that can help you work through trauma. It’s a challenge to find someone that you trust and connect with. Katie is understanding, kind, compassionate, easy to talk to, and completely unjudgmental. I’m so grateful for the work I am able to do when with her and have seen a complete change in my mental health after EMDR with her.
