I'm Katie Quick (she/her) — an award-winning singer/songwriter and licensed therapist based in Colorado. For more than two decades, I've used music, education, and clinical work to help people heal, step into their authenticity, and build lives and relationships that actually feel like home.

I believe, with every fiber of my being, that when queer and marginalized communities heal and step into their most authentic power, we not only transform ourselves — we transform the world.

My path here hasn't been linear. I began as a classroom teacher in Chicago Public Schools, creating inclusive, identity-affirming spaces rooted in SEL, restorative justice, and student voice. I earned my master's in counseling from Northwestern University and went on to become a licensed therapist, while also leading school-wide culture shifts, coaching and training educators, developing restorative curricula, and designing district-wide programs that reduced conflict and strengthened communities — all grounded in self-awareness, authentic connection, and belonging.

Throughout it all, I continued performing as a singer/songwriter, using music as a bridge for connection and change. My signature music and SEL program, Fingertips — which has reached nearly half a million students and educators since 2011 — inspires students to discover their passions and follow their dreams. This work led to being featured on The Katie Couric Show alongside legendary music mogul Clive Davis, where I had the opportunity to perform and share my vision for education.

Today, I bring together my background as an educator, artist, and licensed therapist in everything I do — whether that's a song, a classroom, or a therapy session. My clinical work focuses specifically on lesbian and sapphic dating and relationship therapy for clients in Colorado, through my practice, Magnetic Queer Therapy.

Whether I'm performing on stage, speaking at a national event, or sitting with a client in session, my mission stays the same: to help people heal, rise fully into who they are, and use their authenticity as a force for change.
