Hi!

I am Katie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and North Dakota. I have over 5 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups through a variety of different challenges. I have successfully working with clients that have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, co-occurring diagnosis and serious and persistent mental illnesses.

I would describe my approach as being Client Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma Focused. I believe that you are the expert in your life and your journey and I will be here to help you find your own personal strengths.

Taking that first step into therapy can be such a scary time. I am here to help guide you on your journey to identify your goals and create a plan to reach them!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s so helpful and understand. She checks in and makes time to squeeze me in her schedule.

Katie Wilson makes me feel safe to share whatever I need. She is completely non-judgmental and has also helped me grow extensively in the short time we've been working together. I am blessed to have her in my life.

E.R.·Sep 2021

Katie has been an amazing therapist so far. She is kind, patient, empathetic while still being direct, and I know she truly cares about me and my individual growth. I had tried a few therapists via BetterHelp that didn’t quite click and have had many therapists in my life but haven’t had one as great as Katie in many years. I am so grateful we matched and I cannot recommend her enough.
