Katy Owens, LCSW, LSATP
Substance Use Disorders & LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Candor Therapy Network.
Meet Katy
My name is Katy Owens, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals, families, and young people navigate substance use and mental health challenges.
I earned my Master’s in Psychological Sciences from James Madison University in 2018 and my Master’s of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2022. I became a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in 2023 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2024. With over four years of experience supporting youth, adults, and families affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, I also serve as a certified clinician and trainer in the Community Reinforcement Approach, an evidence-based treatment approach.
I believe our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply connected, and strengthening one area can positively influence the others. My approach combines person-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based, behavioral, and systems perspectives to help clients improve their well-being and quality of life.
Whether you are already making changes and need additional support or are unsure where to begin, I am passionate about helping you discover a path forward. You are the expert in your own experiences, strengths, needs, and goals. My role is to empower, encourage, and support you in creating the changes you want for your life.
