About Me
Katie Monnig— Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I’ve been a therapist for over a decade, supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, trauma, and the many challenges life can bring. My own difficult birth and postpartum experiences showed me how transformative the right support can be—and inspired me to focus my work on helping other moms. Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong musician, aspiring herbalist, baker, and avid reader.
My approach is warm, grounded, and rooted in genuine compassion. I value authenticity, collaboration, and creativity in the therapy process. More than anything, I want to help you find your way back to yourself—even when that feels buried under exhaustion, doubt, or the endless pull to care for everyone else.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, or the challenges of parenthood—including a difficult birth, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, or intrusive or scary thoughts—you deserve support and guidance as you find your way forward.
My Approach
I bring a holistic and integrative style to counseling—blending different methods depending on your particular needs and goals. I consider it a deep privilege to be a compassionate witness and collaborate with my clients in their process. Most of all, I’m here to be fully present with you and help you reconnect with your own needs.
Cognitive or Talk Therapy
Exploring your thoughts and how they impact your emotions and behavior. In other words, we bring more awareness to the stories we tell ourselves.
EMDR Therapy
A way of re-igniting the body and mind’s natural healing capabilities. This allows a reproessing of difficult or traumatic events that feel stuck. Learn more here.
Somatic and Mind/Body Therapy
Learning how to tune into your body’s signals and sensations. We move out of analyzing and problem-solving, and bring curiosity to the intelligence of the body.
Self-Compassion
Learning how to respond to yourself with kindness, support and non-judgment. Imagine how you would respond to a good friend (probably not with the same self-judgement that is easy to fall into with yourself).
Mindfulness
Slowing down and paying attention to the present moment. Helping you create a little more space to breathe, respond, and care for yourself with intention.
Parts Work/IFS-informed
A gentle approach that helps you get to know the different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion, creating more balance and self-understanding.
My Values
My practice is a safe and supportive space for women navigating the full spectrum of reproductive experiences, choices, and emotions that can come with them.
I strive to honor the full complexity of who you are—your background, your culture, your sexual orientation, and your religious or spiritual beliefs.

What it Feels Like to Work Together:
In our sessions, you’ll have a steady, calm, and supportive space that’s just for you—no judgment, no pressure. We follow the natural flow of what you’re feeling and thinking, and at times I’ll gently encourage you to dig a bit deeper. My clients frequently tell me that they appreciate my calm and supportive presence, and my ability to bring in different perspectives and practical tools. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling a little more like yourself—grounded, capable, and not so alone in it all.
