Hello.

My name is Katie Goger (she/her) and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (License #LW61448322) and Child Mental Health Specialist in Washington State. I hold two graduate degrees. I earned a Master of Social Work from Boise State University and a Master of Arts in Anthropology from Western Washington University. I've been working with children and families in variety of settings for over 15 years. I have extensive experience serving diverse populations and families.

I humbly learned first hand after the birth of all three of my children, that the adjustment to parenthood for each person in your family is one of the greatest transitions we ever go through. Children express themselves not through words, but through behavior and actions. I can ensure you that I bring an authentic, genuine, and heartfelt understanding to all our sessions. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I can assure you that we can walk through challenges together.

In my downtime, I enjoy spending time outdoors -- skiing, hiking, biking, and being with my family.

 

“I believe we were not meant to tackle these challenges alone, and reaching out for support is one of the greatest commitments you'll ever make for your future.”

—Katie Goger, LICSW
