Katie Atkins, LCSW, LCAS, CCS, OSW-C
Associate Director, Support Groups | Southeast

Katie has been working as a clinical social worker for the past 15 years, finding a niche in oncology social work 7 years ago. She most recently worked in an outpatient clinic, serving in the primary role of patient & family counselor and support group facilitator. She is dedicated to advocating for the rights and needs of cancer patients and their families.  She values the opportunity to walk alongside patients as they face cancer and the challenges that come with it, educate the community about available resources, and advocate for patients facing barriers to care. Katie is committed to building lasting relationships with the people she works with, and empowering individuals to navigate healthcare systems and access the resources they need to live their best lives.

Katie was born and raised in North Carolina, where she currently lives with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs. Outside of work, she enjoys running, reading, hiking/camping, and cooking (and eating) vegan food!
