KATIE NYQUIST

Katie is a pre-licensed counselor with a bachelor’s degree in Clinical and Community Psychology from the University of Illinois and a master’s degree in Counseling from Roosevelt University. With experience in school and community mental health settings, she supports children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate emotional and everyday life challenges.

Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, family concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life stressors. Katie helps clients strengthen self-awareness, develop practical coping strategies, build confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of the patterns affecting their well-being.

Katie takes a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Treatment is tailored to each client’s individual experiences, strengths, needs, and personal goals.

With a warm and nonjudgmental style, Katie creates a supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions and experiences. She is committed to helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical skills that support meaningful growth and greater well-being in everyday life.
