I work with individuals, couples and families of all different ages and backgrounds. As a depth oriented and relational therapist, I use inner work, self-awareness techniques, parts work (IFS), dreamwork, relationship work, art, conflict resolution and communication techniques.

Hi, I'm Katie Wood, MAAT, Professional Counselor Associate (OR), LMHCA (WA), ATR-P, RYT. We might be a good fit if you are someone who seeks a therapeutic journey encompassing creative exploration, playfulness, and personal expansion. My focus is on guiding clients through a transformative journey, leveraging the power of art and creativity to tap into their inner healing intelligence and navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and social anxiety. I offer a supportive environment where individuals can enhance their self-image, assert boundaries, and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I work with trauma survivors who find themselves locked into old patterns of behavior that can be confusing or damaging. My clients are often stressed out and overwhelmed. They focus on keeping everyone around them happy and are cued into any slight sign of conflict. They are often perfectionists and overachievers, but they have a hard time feeling good about themselves. They struggle to feel safe and connected in relationships and often have attachment styles that have been shaped by trauma and can feel anxious or disconnected and suffocated.

My intention is to provide a safe and compassionate container for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. A supportive space guides you toward slowing down and turning inward to tap into your true self. I believe the most beautiful gift you can offer the world is your fully aware, individuated, and integrated self, which allows you to cultivate genuine connections with yourself, others, and the world around you. I weave together my background in social science research and yoga movement therapy with mindfulness-based, body-centered therapies such as Transpersonal, Hakomi, and Gestalt to be with what's arising for you right now.

I specialize in working with young adults with a range of concerns, including trauma, adult ADHD, relationships, anxiety, depression, and gender/sexual identity concerns. My style is warm, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing and growth, thus I strive to create an empathically attuned environment that facilitates deeper self-understanding, emotional awareness and acceptance, and creative problem-solving to help you move forward.

Human minds and bodies are creative and our systems find ways to keep us functioning safely through extraordinary and difficult circumstances. There often comes a time, however, when the tools and skills we have relied on to keep us safe are no longer working and we need to find new ways to move through the world as we build the life we want to live.

With the state of the world, mental health is at an all-time low and we are all experiencing collective trauma. I take climate, pandemic, economic, political, societal, and cultural problems into account, on top of personal issues. My goal has always been to help those with trauma, personality disorders, and depression/anxiety by diving into the unconscious, cultivating self-awareness, and creating practical solutions. My clients are diverse and range from 13-65+ yrs old.

My goal will ultimately be to help you change your patterns, tame your relationship issues and/or anxieties, and find your inner spiritual gangster so you can spread your wings and fly like the renegade you are. Through a combination of traditional talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and holistic healing techniques, you will be guided towards a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

I believe that a counseling relationship that provides safety, trust, and healing can transform an individual’s life. Often, there is the need for a gentle and trained outside perspective in order to see things differently and unlock new possibilities. I seek to provide a safe and empathetic space for each individual I meet with, in order to support the development of strengths, acceptance, and resiliency. Together, we can process old, harmful ways of experiencing the world and create new, edifying patterns which point you in the direction of the life you hope to lead.

As an experienced adolescent therapist, I am passionate about helping teens and young adults figure out who they are, who they want to be, and the barriers keeping them from realizing these goals. I have assisted hundreds of adolescents through academic challenges, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, substance use, ADHD, traumatic experiences, social anxiety and divorce. We work together to develop healthy ways to manage our emotional life, identify strengths which can support self-confidence and motivation, and learn to trust we are worthy of the love and connection we want in our relationships.

I help stressed, perfectionistic students and professionals learn how to relax. Too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck and harness your self-control as a strength.

Do you experience intense and unmanageable emotions? Do you often find yourself acting impulsively and engaging in self-defeating behaviors? Does it seem like you are simply surviving the journey of life rather than enjoying it? Change is possible! I am glad you are interested in counseling with me and I look forward to hearing your story. Through therapy I can help you learn new ways to cope with current difficulties, as well as heal old wounds. I will strive to help you discover your own inner strength and become your best self.

I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for couples work where we focus on identifying and de-escalating negative cycles, rebuilding trust and emotional safety, and restructuring patterns toward connection, closeness, and a deeper intimacy.

The decision to enter into therapy can be scary, but can also be life changing. Deciding to take action after the thought occurs is possibly the most difficult and courageous thing a person can do. By reading this, you are already taking one step toward putting your thoughts into action. At this point, it is important to find a therapist who can meet your specific needs and someone you feel comfortable with.

Stress comes in many forms in our daily lives. When we get bogged down with memories from our past, or worries about our future, we become unable to fully participate in the present. My goal is to empower you to live as your most authentic self by creating a collaborative therapeutic atmosphere where you are the expert on your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, and solution-focused approach to help you explore and identify what's working, what you would like to change, and potential strategies to achieve your goals.
