Blending lived experience with clinical expertise to transform relationships, leadership, and liberation in practice.
I’m Kat Glick, LCSW—therapist, consultant, educator, and disruptor of stuck systems.
The work I do today is born from lived experience, not just licensure.
I’ve sat in the client’s seat, questioning whether healing was even possible.
I’ve stood at podiums trying to explain trauma-informed leadership to rooms that weren’t ready to hear it.
I’ve navigated systems that praised professionalism but punished authenticity.
And I built something different.
Through the Lens of Liberation
My journey began in clinical mental health, doing deeply personal work in spaces that often avoided the political. Over time, the gaps became impossible to ignore:
Therapy rooms that asked clients to change—but never examined the system.
Organizational strategies that promised equity—but ignored lived trauma.
Supervision models that prioritized neutrality over justice.
So I created something else:
Personal Evolution — a solo practice rooted in empowerment, education, and access.
Fishtown Wellness — a collective of affirming, liberation-minded clinicians.
Empowering Evolution — the current chapter: bold consulting, trauma-informed strategy, and intimate relational healing.

Modalities in Practice (with real-world application):
Relational Life Therapy (RLT): Power repair + accountability in action.

My approach is always trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and liberation-rooted.
Couples Therapy Breakthrough
A lawyer couple came in on the brink of separation—burnt out, resentful, and unable to communicate. Together, we untangled power dynamics, rebuilt intimacy, and created a partnership rooted in honesty and care.
Organizational Culture Repair
A nonprofit reeling from DEI backlash invited me to help. Instead of patching optics, we slowed down, confronted the rupture, and co-designed structures for accountability. The result: greater staff trust and a healthier culture.
Clinician Supervision Transformation
A licensed clinician once told me: “Kat helped me decolonize my practice—without losing clinical integrity.” That’s what supervision here looks like: bold, affirming, and rooted in liberation.
“I don’t just teach boundaries. I’ve had to build mine—layer by layer—through systems that weren’t built for someone like me.
This work isn’t about being perfect. It’s about becoming more human, together.”
You’re allowed to evolve. Your relationships. Your leadership. Your practice.
