About the Speaker: I’m Katie Richburg, and I serve as a Clinical Outreach Specialist for Newport Healthcare in Minnesota. In my role, I provide consultation to families and professionals when a higher level of care is required, guiding them to find the best options for their needs. Navigating the complex landscape of mental health treatment, from understanding levels of care to deciphering insurance coverage, can be overwhelming. My mission is to bridge that gap, enhancing access to the right care for each individual. With over 20 years of experience across various therapeutic settings, I’m dedicated to supporting individuals and families as they navigate the treatment process. My background includes earning a degree from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, followed by a Master’s from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. Over the years, I’ve worked as a therapist in both Residential and Outpatient care and hold a deep belief in the power of family in the recovery process. When I’m not working, you can find me enjoying my book club, painting, playing tennis (and more recently pickleball too), traveling, and, most importantly, spending time with my family.
