Katie Wilson, LCPC — Therapist in Idaho

Hi there, I'm Katie!

Katie believes that assisting clients manage their mental health is only part of the treatment process. She believes in helping her clients reach their full potential. Katie is completing a PhD in adult education with a research emphasis on attachment and posttraumatic growth.

My focus

I typically work with adults and specialize in trauma. I have years of experience with grief and loss, depression and anxiety, neurodivergence, and the queer community.

My approach

I specialize in trauma, and largely utilize EMDR in conjunction with attachment theory and attachment therapy. I have done extensive research on attachment theory, posttraumatic growth and human flourishing.

My communication style

I am strength-based in my practice and place emphasis on posttraumatic growth and human flourishing. My approach is supportive in nature, and I believe that education is an important part of therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been fascinated with human behavior and cognitive functioning. I have wanted to be a therapist for as far back as I can remember. The most rewarding aspect of this job is helping clients become their authentic selves and flourish.

My goals for you

I practice mutual collaboration in setting and reaching goals, as I believe that clients and clinicians work as a team for the best outcomes.

Our first session

Clients can expect compassion and support as a trusting relationship is the most critical factor in successful therapy.
