Washington MO counselor Katie Walker has been a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor / National Certified Counselor since 1997. Prior to starting private practice over a decade ago, I worked in the mental health field for the previous 10 years assisting adults with chronic and persistent mental illness to learn coping skills, enabling them to better manage their symptoms and lead more fulfilling lives.

I have experience in a variety of clinical settings ranging from leading group therapy sessions to individual counseling sessions, mental health assessments, focused behavioral coaching interventions, and occupational/job skills coaching.

The current focuses of my practice are adult ADHD and ministry stress/ burnout/ compassion fatigue. If you or someone you know is a professional church worker currently struggling in their call, please be sure to reach out to me for resources and encouragement.

For clients with a faith focus, I believe it is essential to tap into your spirituality as a primary source of encouragement for personal worth and opportunities to ​grow.

My office is a safe place to explore and come to terms with intense emotions, while also learning how to calm your emotions and cope with them.

My experience as a counselor also includes being an approved licensing supervisor for other counselors seeking their two years of supervised experience. I have provided licensure supervision to several other counselors working in this area.
