Kat McNiece, LCSW
Founder & Therapist | Inner Alchemy Therapy
Kat is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado with a deep passion for integrative, evidence-based therapy. She earned her Masters in Social Work from the University of Denver and has dedicated her career to weaving together therapeutic approaches that honor the mind-body connection.
Before becoming a therapist, Kat worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism spectrum disorder. She later completed her yoga teacher training (RYT-200) and worked in integrative healthcare as a chiropractic assistant, deepening her appreciation for the connection between the nervous system, spine, and stress.
Kat believes that healing is an integration of the physical, emotional, and mental. Her personal and professional experiences have shaped her understanding of transformation, inner and outer connectedness, and the body’s innate ability to heal. She sees self-relationship as the foundation for how we connect with others and tailors her therapeutic approach to uniquely support each individual’s journey.
She is especially passionate about supporting neurodiversity, gender diversity, and sexual empowerment, helping individuals engage in deep self-exploration and integration to foster lasting change. Kat has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in functional and behavioral health settings, as well as providing affirming support to individuals in the LGBTQIA+, ethical nonmonogamy, and kink/BDSM communities.
Her approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and social justice-oriented, drawing from a range of modalities to meet each client where they are.
Outside of therapy, Kat loves rainy days, coastal air, inhaling books, coffee the size of her head, and laughing until she cackles. She thrives on deep, meaningful conversations and can often be found foraging through HomeGoods or TJ Maxx, hunting for little treasures she definitely doesn’t need but absolutely must have.
