Hello.

My name is Katie Goger 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.

After being trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy in 2010, I knew that the relationship between a child and their primary caregiver was at the center of any shift in behavior. I also know first hand after the birth of both my children, that the adjustment to parenthood for each person in your family is one of the greatest transitions you'll ever go through. 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. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors -- skiing, hiking, biking, and spending time with my family.
