Katie Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (MS, LPC, MHSP) who specializes in supporting teens and adults facing challenges related to depression, trauma, and anxiety. She understands that moving forward after a traumatic event can feel overwhelming, and aims to create a secure and accepting environment for her clients. Katie's ideal client is someone ready to process their experiences in a setting that feels like home, where they can curl up on her couch with comfort. With extensive training in trauma-focused evidence-based practices such as EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she confidently guides her clients through the therapeutic process. Katie recognizes that a therapeutic environment serves as a sanctuary from the stresses of the outside world, and her trauma-informed approach informs every decision in her practice. She appreciates how courageous it is for someone to reach out for help and is dedicated to walking alongside her clients on their journey toward healing. In her office, there might be an occasional visit from her friendly German Shepherd, enhancing the warm atmosphere she fosters in her clinical space.
