Katherine Burns

Katherine Burns is a licensed clinical social worker in Oklahoma (OK LCSW 6647) with three years of experience supporting adults through identity shifts, grief, and life transitions. She brings a compassionate, open presence and a strength-based, curious approach that centers the client’s own knowledge about their life.

She has worked with people navigating life transitions, questions of identity, self-esteem struggles, codependency, career changes, infertility, and grief. Katherine is particularly interested in origins and genealogy and how cultural factors shape a person’s sense of roots. She offers support for those processing DNA discoveries and the identity disruptions that can follow.

Her work includes helping individuals and families affected by Misattributed Parentage Experience (MPE) or Non Parent Expected (NPE), including adoptees, donor-conceived people, and other unique conceptions. She also supports families facing fertility issues and adults contemplating parenthood, helping them weigh choices and the complexities that accompany those decisions.

Working alongside clients, Katherine helps them access their strengths and develop new skills to move forward in ways that feel authentic. Her role is to help people process changes in identity and determine whether their choices continue to serve them. As a female therapist who works with LGBT clients and those facing a range of challenges, she aims to provide practical support and guidance during times of change.
