Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Burnout & Energy Specialist
Nervous System Strategy for High-Capacity Women
I work with women whose nervous systems have been carrying too much. We address chronic overexertion at its source, allowing clarity, creativity, and vitality to emerge.
From Chronic Overexertion to Embodied Power.
You have built a life of impact, but internally, your nervous system is working harder than it can sustain.
As a woman of high-integrity and immense capability, you are often the stable center for everyone - maybe except yourself. You have reached the ceiling of what "pushing through" can achieve and you know the best version of your life should not require a constant state of survival.
With over a decade of clinical experience at the intersection of high-level demand and physiological fatigue, I help women move out of patterns of chronic overexertion and into embodied power. We do not manage symptoms; we rebuild neurobiological foundations, restoring the vitality, capacity, and sovereignty required for the life you lead.
The Integrity Alignment Method
Chronic high-performance often leaves you depleted, blocked, or unable to sustain your work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Nervous System Strategist, I work with high-capacity women who feel like they have tried everything to deal with their burnout, lingering fatigue, and unexplained symptoms, but still aren’t feeling truly well. You have tried to eat clean, see the right doctors, start therapy, and take a vacation, but you still feel creatively exhausted.
Through the Integrity Alignment Method, we move beyond “self-care” into a transformative, clinical partnership. We don’t just manage stress; we rebuild your nervous system’s capacity so you can lead your life effectively, with clarity, creativity, and sustainable energy.

feels constantly drained, foggy, or “off” - even if life is successful and beautiful on the outside.
is dealing with the persistent "buzz" of a sympathetic nervous system that won't turn off.
has a body that often feels like a stranger, signaling through gut flares, brain fog, exhaustion, and other seemingly unrelated symptoms.
is experiencing the "Functional Freeze" - where you are effective in the boardroom but hollow in your living room.

Unlike traditional coaching which focuses on mindset alone, I AM is a high-level partnership that addresses the physiological and psychological roots of your executive burnout at the cellular and neurological level.
Phase 01: Neuro-Physiological Assessment
We map your unique "Resource Leaks" - the exact physiological points where your system is stuck in survival, so you can move from mystery to a clinical map.
Phase 02: Nervous System Architecture
We build your "Somatic Pharmacy." These are specific, 3-to-5-minute clinical protocols designed to regulate your system in real-time, whether you are in the boardroom, the living room, or the bedroom.
Phase 03: Sustainable Sovereignty
We move you from "Recovery" to "Capacity." This is where you learn to lead from a regulated nervous system, making decisions from a state of clarity rather than a state of threat.

The Integrity Alignment Method is a 6-month high-touch partnership to rebuild your biological and neurological architecture.
I AM is rooted in multiple modalities, including Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Yoga, Functional Medicine, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems/Parts work, and Trauma-Informed Care.
The partnership includes:
Intensive neurobiological assessment to identify your unique physiological baselines and the specific roots of your chronic fatigue.
High-level clinical partnership to architect a lifestyle that genuinely inspires your energy and creativity.
Immediate on-demand access to a curated library of clinical protocols, somatic architecture tools, and restorative practices designed to move you from functional freeze to embodied power.
Direct access to my brain between sessions via a private, secure channel for real-time troubleshooting and integration support.
Meet Katie
I’m Katie Halsted, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Nervous System Strategist who helps high-capacity women claim their creative energy and power.
I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to perform at a high-level for your whole life. Eventually the body responds with fatigue and burnout symptoms. You don’t want to compromise your commitments, but you do want to feel like yourself again.
Through a blend of clinical precision and authentic somatic support, I guide women to inhabit their lives authentically. We move beyond a feeling of survival to architect a life that honors your unique biology and personal strengths, allowing your natural vitality and sense of wellbeing to flourish.
High-capacity leadership requires a nervous system foundation that most women simply weren’t taught to build. After years of meeting the unrelenting demands of your career and your family, the I AM clinical partnership is the space where you reclaim the architecture of your own life.
To ensure the highest level of clinical depth and bespoke support this work requires, I only accept four private strategy clients at a time. If you are ready to stop surviving your life and finally begin inhabiting it, let’s begin.
The Clinical Partnership
Not Ready for Private Strategy? Join me on Substack.
On my Substack, Actually Human, I share the clinical research, somatic stories, and protocols I use in my private practice. It’s a quiet, yet impactful space for those who want to begin the journey of coming home to their bodies, one step at a time.
APPLY FOR PRIVATE STRATEGY
You have spent years being the architect of everyone else’s world. It is time to become the architect of your own.
Reclaiming your vitality isn't a luxury; it is a strategic necessity for the life you are called to lead. We aren't just looking for more "energy" - we are looking for the sovereignty that comes when your nervous system finally feels at home in your own skin.
