In her years as an addiction counselor, Dr. Katie Lamberson recognized a need for systemic change in the way in which we prevent and treat addiction in our society.

She is passionate about understanding the person behind the addiction and treating all clients with compassion and autonomy. In order to foster these beliefs in students, Dr. Lamberson utilizes experiential learning to foster empathy and passion for the addiction field.
