About Me

Katie Monnig, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I’ve been a licensed therapist for well over a decade. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in deep compassion. But more than anything, I want to help you feel like you again—even when that feels buried under exhaustion, second-guessing, or constantly taking care of everyone else.

I know what it’s like when everything feels like too much—or nothing like you expected. My own entry into motherhood began with a traumatic birth experience and postpartum struggles. Getting the right support was a lifeline—and it’s what inspired me to focus my work on helping other moms find their way, too.

Whether you’re navigating a difficult birth, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, scary thoughts or simply feeling lost in this new season of life, I’m here to support you.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is holistic and integrative—blending different methods depending on your particular needs and goals. This might include:

— Cognitive or talk therapy: exploring your thoughts and how they impact your emotions and behaviors

— Somatic or mind-body approaches: tuning into your body’s signals and sensations

— Mindfulness: slowing down and paying attention to the present moment

— EMDR therapy: reprocessing difficult or traumatic events that feel stuck

—Self-Compassion: learning how to respond to yourself with kindness, support and non-judgment

I’m a trauma-informed therapist, and I follow your pace and the path our work naturally takes. I love helping clients understand how the brain and body respond to stress, and sharing simple, practical tools that can bring real change to everyday life. Most of all, I’m here to be fully present with you and help you reconnect with your own needs. Your care matters—nurturing yourself gives you the strength, clarity, and presence to nurture your baby, too.

Everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, respected, and safe.
While I primarily work with pregnant and postpartum folks—which usually means supporting women—I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who welcomes and people of all identities. 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 you again—grounded, connected to yourself, and not so alone in it all.
