A Conversation with Katie Testa

Recently I had the pleasure of talking with Katie Testa about the pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and her hopes for the future. 

Katie is Founder and Executive Director of Metro Detroit Nonviolent Communication, where she provides training, mentoring, coaching, public speaking, and consulting services across the Great Lakes Region and internationally. 

Beyond her expertise in Nonviolent Communication, Katie is informed and inspired by a variety of modalities and frameworks, including Internal Family Systems Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Nathaniel Branden’s work with self-esteem, and Trauma Theory.
