Hi! My name is Katie Emard (she/her)

I provide individual counseling services for adults residing in the state of Oregon. I am deeply committed to and passionate about working with my LGBTQIA++ community, and identify as Queer. I have primarily worked with the Queer community since 2020. I also have a special heart for the Indigenous community and exploring and supporting our unique challenges and spiritual and ecological connections. I have experience working with: BDSM/KINK, polyamory/relationship anarchy, BIPOC, parenting, trauma, and disability. 

Services are provided via Simple Practice, a Telehealth platform, which is a HIPAA compliant counseling platform.

In my free time, I enjoy: traveling and seeing the world, eating all the snacks, fixing up my 105 year old house, puttering in the garden, and doing art. I spend a lot of time reading, as I love the magic and escape of a good story. 

"THE CURIOUS PARADOX IS THAT WHEN I ACCEPT MYSELF JUST AS I AM,
THEN I CHANGE."
