About Me
Katie Monnig— Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
My style is warm, grounded, and rooted in genuine compassion. I value collaboration and do my best to show up authentically in each session. More than anything, I want to help you reconnect with yourself—even when that feels buried under exhaustion, worry, or the pressure to hold it all together.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I specialize in maternal and perinatal mental health, supporting women through experiences like postpartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and the major identity shifts that come with motherhood.
I’ve been a therapist for over a decade, but I’m also a mom, partner, sister, friend and fellow human. My own difficult birth and postpartum experiences showed me just how much the right support matters—and sparked my passion for maternal mental health. Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong musician, aspiring herbalist, baker, and avid reader.

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. Most of all, I’m here to be fully present with you and help you reconnect with your own needs.
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.
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 wisdom of the body.
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.
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.
In person counseling in Boise, Idaho.
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.
