Katie Collins is a gifted singer-songwriter based in Athens, GA. With roots in a family of performers, Katie’s journey in music began at a young age. She started playing piano, singing, and performing in theatre, surrounded by musicians, street performers, and thespians. Her diverse style spans from classic to contemporary, blending melodies with a deep, rich tone that captures listeners’ hearts.

Since relocating to Athens, Katie has been pursuing her musical career, including her standout project "She’s a Tenor", beautifully engineered at Mark Maxwell Studios. Beyond her musical talent, Katie is also a long-time supporter of The Cottage, having performed at their Open Mic Nights and participated in their annual production of The Vagina Monologues. Her dedication to the mission of The Cottage has made a lasting impact, and they are incredibly grateful for her continued involvement.

The Cottage, Sexual Assault Center and Children’s Advocacy Center is a 501 (c) nonprofit organization that raises awareness and facilitates the healing of individuals, families, and communities affected by sexual violence and child abuse. We believe in the dignity of the individual, the ultimate right to make choices, advocacy for every person and the ability to heal.

The Cottage was created in 1974 by the Athens Feminists, a group of volunteer activists helping
take a stand in response to a serial rapist. The Cottage was the first anti-sexual assault organization in Georgia and was a founding member of the Georgia Network to End Sexual Assault. The Cottage primarily serves Clarke county, but we are also a routing point for a national hotline and will assist survivors both in and outside of the state as needed.

All of our services are free, confidential, and can be accessed by calling our 24/7 crisis hotline (706-353-1912). For adults (18yrs +), we provide services to anyone who has experienced sexual violence at any time in their life. Our services include 24/7 medical and legal advocacy, crisis counseling, free trauma focused counseling referrals, support groups, and support for secondary survivors (family, friends, partners, and loved ones of that survivor). For children (17 yrs-), we provide services to all victims of child abuse including physical abuse, sexual abuse, witness to domestic violence and witness to a homicide. These services include 24/7 family & child advocacy, forensic interviews to aid the investigative process, medical advocacy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and counseling, support groups, and support for extended family members including non-offending caregivers and siblings.

Our staff is always available to provide presentations to the community on topics ranging from sexual violence, child abuse, protecting our children, media safety, and to how to help survivors. Please visit our website for more information www.northgeorgiacottage.org.

The Cottage’s values of respect, integrity, empowerment, collaboration, and community engagement drive our work every day. Our team of dedicated staff, board members, and volunteers allow us to serve every survivor we come in contact with. The generosity of our donors and your support help The Cottage provide all these services free of charge. We thank you for supporting our mission!
