Shannon (Katie) Roghaar, LCSW

Shannon (Katie) Roghaar brings a broad background in neuroscience, human development, and social work to her clinical practice, combining academic training with hands-on experience in medical and mental health settings. She holds undergraduate degrees in Neuroscience from the University of Nevada, Reno and in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Utah, and she completed a master’s degree in social work in 2019. She has specialized training as a sexual assault advocate and extensive experience supporting people affected by substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health concerns.

Her therapeutic work is rooted in a trauma-informed, feminist multicultural framework that centers each person's lived experience. From that foundation she offers client-centered therapy and draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices to help clients build skills, process trauma, and pursue meaningful change. She has supported people through sexual assault recovery, domestic violence trauma, relationship challenges, codependency, suicidality, substance use issues, and concerns about self-worth and identity.

Roghaar has worked with a range of populations including medical professionals, students, young adults, first responders, many female-identifying individuals, and members of the LGBTQ community. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - a clinical social work license - and values witnessing clients’ growth, offering compassionate support as they move forward in their healing journeys.
