Origen Stories—Katherine Burns, LCSWTherapy & Life Coaching for Identity and Origins
At Origen Stories, I offer therapy and life coaching for individuals and couples navigating infertility, identity questions, and unexpected DNA or family revelations. My work is grounded in experience with identity, intergenerational trauma, and the search for “roots.” I provide a supportive space to process NPE/MPE discoveries, donor conception, late-discovery adoption, and other origin-related experiences, helping you integrate the truth and move toward healing.
I founded Origen Stories to heal the present by illuminating the past.

Client Testimonials
I was feeling unfulfilled in my job, my living situation, my relationships and in myself. Katherine met me with empathy and compassion and took the time to get to know me and understand my situation.
Katherine worked with me in anticipation of a big move I was planning across the country to live closer to family. With her support, I was able to pull myself out of survival mode during a year I was in limbo.
I was feeling stuck, and stagnant, but Katherine gave me the tools I needed to make it a pivotal year for learning and growth. Katherine, thank you for helping me understand myself a little better!
Katherine taught me how to recognize patterns and be curious, practice self-compassion, voice my needs with kindness, have higher expectations for how others treat me, and stay grounded in my worth.
Thanks to Katherine I feel confident that I’m going to be able to sustain more balance through the peaks and valleys of my life, and I’m already practicing in this new chapter.
