Kat’s academic work centers trauma-informed, liberation-rooted education. Their classrooms and trainings are spaces where students, clinicians, and leaders can engage with complexity without leaving parts of themselves behind.

• Rooted in reality: Clinical expertise blended with academic rigor.

• Trauma-informed by design: Safety and authenticity drive transformation.

• Progressive, not prescriptive: Equity, identity, and liberation—not one-size-fits-all models.

• Student-centered: Autonomy, reflection, and collective growth at the core.

“My commitment to justice and equity runs deep. I find it most effective to center it within health spaces—so those spaces are just a little safer for historically marginalized communities.” – Kat Glick
