Hi, My name is S. Katie Roghaar (She, Her, Hers), and I have been working in the medical/mental health field for the last 12 years. I have been working specifically with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues for the last 6 years, and this is how I fell in love with the social work field. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault as a trained sexual assault advocate. I have one undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from the University of Nevada, Reno, and another undergraduate degree from the University of Utah in human development and family studies. I received my master's in social work in 2019, then have been working in mental health crisis, substance use disorders, and many other mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I specialized in a trauma informed therapeutic model called Feminist Multicultural therapy (FMT) in my master's program, and that is the model I like to base my therapeutic style on because it provides me the freedom to provide client-centered therapy and utilize skills from Acceptance and Commitment therapy(ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and many different mindfulness techniques. I have helped many clients with relationship issues, sexual assault trauma, domestic violence trauma, self-esteem empowerment, substance use issues, suicidality, codependency, women's issues, and many other issues that have come up on my clients healing journey. I have worked with medical professionals, students, young adults, first responders, many female-identifying individuals, and the LGBTQ+ community.
I love to see the growth and healing that my clients experience, and am very privileged to be a compassionate witness to their journey. I am so proud of you for taking the next steps in your healing journey.
