Trauma is defined differently by everyone and NO ONE understands what you are going through like you do. As a therapist trained in EMDR I can use my knowledge to help you process life experiences and provide realistic tools to manage reactions caused by trauma. I have previous work experience in healthcare and I enjoy working with teenagers, adults, and couples. My training and work experience include individuals with histories of complex trauma, personality disorders, trauma affiliated with a religion, addiction(s), grief, sexual health, and medical trauma.

Finding the right therapist for you is important. My style tends to be warm and soft-spoken but I can be gently confrontational when necessary. I decided to become a therapist because I deeply care about helping others in meaningful ways.

Hello, my name is Katherine King. I have worked as a therapist for almost 20 years. My role is to help you figure out what is right for you and what steps will help you reach your goals. Over the years I have worked with a variety of clients from various backgrounds. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship development, self-esteem, addiction, and adjustment problems. Most people have been bombarded with outside opinions that can make it hard to decide what they truly think and want. I hope to help you quiet those outside messages to uncover your authentic self.

I have been in private practice for 33 years having the privilege of serving individuals and couples in our community. I've gained a solid understanding of the struggles we face navigating the difficulties of life. My knowledge and compassion facilitate growth and healing for individuals within their selves and in their relationships. My style of therapy is one of warmth and engaging with each person in the story of their life and the difficulties within that. It is my intention to create an open and inviting atmosphere for people to explore themselves, their relationships, and the environment which they live.

It is important to me that I offer a safe, respectful and confidential environment for clients as they process challenges in their lives. I believe that every individual has the ability to recognize their internal self-worth, which external factors often impede. I believe in focusing on the person as a whole, with attention to the emotional, physical, and spiritual components of wellness. I have a great deal of respect for my clients, and I recognize the strength it takes to address concerns and seek assistance. It is my goal to offer encouragement and support as clients work towards making positive changes to their lives.

We all have a story with seasons of strength and suffering, and you deserve a safe and non-judgmental place to share yours. In the midst of affliction, one’s internal experiences may feel chaotic and overwhelming. I have experience in working with clients who are on a healing journey through trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and spiritual struggles. I love to work with clients who are ready to take back their lives through exploration, investigation, practice, and reflection. I believe in treating through getting to the root of what has clients stuck, and I appreciate clients who are committed to themselves and their growth

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us” – J.R.R. Tolkien. Each of us has a choice to make about the type of life we want to live, and therapy is a great place to begin exploring our options and welcoming change. It can help us better understand what we want our lives to look like and how we can intentionally move in that direction. It offers awareness of the patterns and beliefs which shape our lives. I firmly believe by bringing awareness and intentionality to our lives, we connect with our true strength and have the opportunity to change our lives for the better.

We can sit here and tell you all about how experienced we are, how we have worked with all individuals and many mental health concerns, but when you look for a therapist, is that the most important thing that you look for? Maybe it is, or maybe you are looking for a therapist that you can relate to, that provides a warm and inviting environment. Maybe you want someone that can throw all rules aside and when you are having a bad day/week can be there just to listen. If you can relate, then Willow Path Counseling is the right place.

Hey there, I'm really glad you're here. Let me tell you a bit about why therapy is so meaningful to me. I began my own journey into therapy when I was younger, facing similar struggles to what you might be experiencing now. It wasn't easy, but therapy became my anchor during those tough times. It showed me that even in the midst of darkness, there's hope and room for joy. Now, I'm here to offer you that same support and guidance. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you, helping you find the tools you need to feel better.

The journey through life brings many great privileges. Experiencing life also means dealing with complicated circumstances such as divorce, the death of a loved one, work-related stress, and more. It is common for adults to struggle with mental health issues such as depression, mood disorders, and anxiety. Life can begin to feel “heavy.” Activities that one used to enjoy may now feel like a chore. Relationships begin to strain. One may ask themself, “where did it all go wrong?” Getting counseling helps you deal with major life issues and overcome your feelings of being overwhelmed.

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a fact of life that everyone, at some point or another, faces struggles. Sometimes, in this society, it is deemed more acceptable to suffer in silence than to reach out and ask for the help you need. I believe that every experience you have had, every triumph, every setback, is important and gives meaning to who you are; your whole identity. I believe that every person has the answers they need, and sometimes it takes extra work to find them. I believe that a therapeutic space, where a person can be heard and valued as a person of infinite worth, is incredibly healing.

Experiences can shape who we are as individuals. Sometimes our experiences are wonderful and create great memories. However, as we navigate our lives, past traumas or other unexpected experiences may affect how we progress toward a healthy and satisfying life. These experiences may be overwhelming and difficult, sometimes causing you to feel depressed, anxious, or even detached from yourself and others. When these difficulties arise, you may need guidance navigating towards healing so that you can experience a healthy, satisfying life.

I believe that most people come to counseling after many attempts to solve their problem other ways, but have found that those efforts have not led to an outcome that fits, or has been able to last over time. Counseling provides an opportunity to explore aspects of one's self and relationships in ways that lead to increased awareness and greater fulfillment and meaning in relationships and various aspects of one's life.
