Katie Raizola M.S, LPC Intern
I'm thrilled to introduce myself as an intern therapist embarking on a journey to provide compassionate and effective therapy services through Wellspring Counseling Center. I'm a graduate from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a Masters degree in Community Counseling, with a minor in Alcohol Dependency. My passion for making a meaningful difference led me to spend over two years working closely with foster children, where I honed my ability to provide compassionate support in navigating life's complexities.
Through our collaborative work in therapy, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your emotions, unpack your challenges, and uncover your strengths. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, fostering resilience and facilitating positive change. With a foundation built on empathy, knowledge, and real-world experience, I am committed to walking alongside you on your path to healing and growth.
