Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
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.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adjusting to life changes – online therapy has been shown to offer effectiveness comparable to traditional in-person care. It can be an effective option for people seeking support for these kinds of issues.
One clear benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different style or fit. This approach makes ongoing care adaptable to each person’s preferences and needs.
