READ MY WORK

Vital Ground

A publication on what it actually takes to feel alive in a culture optimized for everything except feeling alive. Cultural and psychological essays from a clinician's POV. Launching this summer.

I'm Katie Nick

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and a doctoral candidate in Clinical Sexology. I trained as a writer first and a clinician second. Both halves of my work keep circling the same set of questions:

What actually makes a life feel vibrant,
and what does it take to get it back?
   Therapy with me   

My practice is called
Hearth Light because I believe vitality is less like a bonfire and more like a warm hearth…

  • CREATING A STRONG FOUNDATION WITH LASTING RESILIENCE

  • THROUGH REST AND RHYTHM

  • THROUGH STEADY ATTENTION
