Rising from the murky depths of trauma to bloom with radiance – this powerful metaphor encapsulates the transformative journey Katie Huskey, LCSW, facilitates at Purple Lotus Counseling LLC. As a Psychotherapist and Certified Trauma Professional, Katie's approach is deeply rooted in her personal experience with trauma, which ignited a lifelong mission to help others not just survive, but thrive in the aftermath of life-altering events.

Katie's journey began as a sexual assault and domestic violence advocate while pursuing her Masters in Social Work. This foundational experience, coupled with her own healing process, has uniquely positioned her to understand the intricate path from trauma to resilience. At Purple Lotus Counseling, she employs a holistic, whole-person centered approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit to nurture growth and healing.

Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and relaxation techniques, reprocessing strategies, and solution-focused approaches. She also incorporates Forward Facing Trauma Therapy, a specific technique designed to help clients break through the murky waters of their past and learn to thrive again.

Katie's practice offers both in-person and online psychotherapy options, recognizing the need for flexibility in today's busy world. She works with clients to develop personalized goals and explores various interventions, techniques, and new behaviors to achieve those objectives.

Whether you're seeking individual psychotherapy or specialized trauma-focused care, Katie's compassionate and skilled approach offers a path to healing and personal growth. As she often says, "Living through a traumatic event is a life-defining moment, but we all have the choice on how that moment defines us."
