Ms Katie Vandervort

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“A kind and competent Christian therapist with substantial experience working with children, adolescents and their families”

About Me

I help children, adolescents, and their families navigate life's challenges. As a kind, competent Christian therapist, I create a welcoming space where faith can offer strength. We explore family dynamics together, building stronger connections with practical strategies for home. Families seeking a compassionate, values-aligned approach will find a supportive partner here.

Approach

I guide families to turn faith and understanding into everyday rhythms that ease tension and invite connection. In my Azusa office we meet face-to-face in steady, hour-long sessions that balance calm listening with focused skill-building. Therapy blends brief, goal-focused exercises informed by assessment with collaborative problem-solving that parents and children practice between meetings. Those seeking a faith-aligned, evidence-minded approach often leave feeling more confident in handling daily challenges and closer as a family.
