I have known Katie as a friend for many years. Katie has such a calming and patient vibe about her. She is very considerate with her suggestions and always seems to come from a place of kindness and understanding. With her counseling, she can help what once felt like a crisis, turn into a manageable goal with a clear vision and solution. Katie is a great balance to a harsh, fast-paced world. Katie has naturally taught me so many tips around nutrition and well-being. She is passionate about what she does, and you can always count on her to share a laugh or smile with. More...

Katie has created a warm, inviting and safe space where children, teens and couples who are looking for someone to help guide them through life's challenges will feel competely at ease in sharing their experiences and feelings. Katie has an inner sense of how best to help her clients, and I think especially with kids and teens who are experiencing some of the pitfalls of adolescence and young adulthood, Katie's approach could be very helpful and therapeutic. Her positive energy will pass through to her clients. More...

Katie is a natural healer and positive role model for young children and adolescents. She has been a family friend to me, my partner, and my stepdaughter for several years now and I am always so warmed by the way she listens to our 10 year old and builds up her confidence through authentic conversation. She is very easy to be around and always knows what to say to make the person she’s with feel respected and loved. Katie is also very knowledgeable and she continues to educate herself through her entrepreneurial work and networking skills. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone seeking counseling support for children, teens or adults, as she uses a wide range of services and modalities to help her clients such as art, yoga, music and more. If you are seeking someone to help your loved one who is compassionate, well-educated and dedicated, look no further than Wisdom Within Counseling with Katie Ziskind! More...

As a therapist comfortable with using mindfulness in her practice, Katie impresses me more than anyone else I know with her presence that includes a genuine sense of warmth, calmness and compassion. What makes her special is that not only do I sense it within her, but once I am with her, I can't help but feel the calmness enter myself as well. That connection within herself and that which she extends to others, as well as the knowledge of the therapeutic techniques and interventions, are what she brings to her growing practice. I know this because I observed her amazing development as a professional during her postgraduate education and throughout that period was thoroughly impressed. I am therefore very comfortable recommending Katie as a therapist for individuals, couples families and groups! More...

Katie relates to children so well. Her genuine connection to her own inner spirit allows her fill any room with innocence and joy. I’ve watched her effortlessly guide a whole room of children to into a deeper level of self love through yoga. She is very dedicated to her own self care, so she knows first hand what really works, and what does not. Having even a brief chit chat with Katie is sure to brighten anyone’s day. I recommend Wisdom Within to anyone who is struggling with, or seeking to cultivate a greater capacity for life. More...

As an aspiring counselor, I went to Katie to seek advice about the process and her experience so far from schooling to opening her own practice. I was initially intimidated by the thought of meeting someone who had already established their own practice so young, however that all melted away as soon as I met Katie. Her warm and fun personality were immediately present and I felt at ease instantly. Talking with her made me excited about my future in the counseling world as her passion was so inspiring, you can tell that she can connect with anyone. I definitely would and already have recommended her to anyone looking for a great family therapist. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love the process of seeing my clients catch a wave of positivity and leave sessions feeling confident and supported.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to become a therapist for one reason, to help my clients with the most effective mixed-methods of whole body techniques. No matter your age, my goal is to have you leave my office after your session feeling empowered and strong! My clients learn skills to develop a well rounded, highly effective toolbox of skills to call on to deal with and balance pressures throughout their entire life. All individuals are welcome.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am an LGBTQIA+ ally. I provide a safe space for connection and compassion. I go above and beyond traditional talk therapy and look at the whole person- body, mind, and spiritual aspects.
