I’m Katie Quick (she/her) — an LGBTQ+ therapist, coach, and leader based in Colorado, as well as an award-winning singer/songwriter and transformational expert in social-emotional learning (SEL) and restorative practices. For more than two decades, I’ve been helping queer, gender-expansive, and other marginalized people heal, step into their authenticity, and create change that ripples far beyond their own lives.

I believe, with every fiber of my being, that when queer and marginalized communities heal and step into their most authentic power, we not only transform ourselves — we transform the world.

My path here hasn’t been linear. I began as a classroom teacher in Chicago Public Schools, creating inclusive, identity-affirming spaces rooted in SEL, restorative justice, and student voice. I earned my master’s in counseling from Northwestern University, and alongside building a thriving, diverse private practice offering virtual LGBTQ+ therapy, I’ve led school-wide culture shifts, coached and trained educators, developed restorative curricula, and designed district-wide programs that reduced conflict and strengthened communities — all grounded in self-awareness, authentic connection, and belonging.

Throughout it all, I continued performing as a singer/songwriter, using music as a bridge for connection and change. My signature music and SEL program, Fingertips — which has reached nearly half a million students and educators since 2011 — brings neuroscience-based manifestation practices into schools nationwide, inspiring students to discover their passions and follow their dreams. This work led to being featured on The Katie Couric Show alongside legendary music mogul Clive Davis, where I had the opportunity to perform and share my vision for education.

Today, I bring together my expertise as an educator, therapist, artist, and coach — along with my identity, personal healing journey, and lived experience — through my work as the founder of Magnetic Queer. Inside this intentional, emotionally safe community, I offer individual and group coaching, therapy, education, and mentorship for heart-centered humans ready to turn their pain into purpose and live in bold, unapologetic authenticity. My signature, evidence-based manifestation process, The Queer Love Method, has helped countless LGBTQ+ people heal old patterns, align with their values, and manifest the life, love, and abundance they deserve.

Whether I’m leading a group session, speaking on a national stage, or mentoring an aspiring young leader, my mission is the same: to empower people to heal, rise fully into who they are, and use their authenticity as a force for global change.
