Meet Katie

Katie Wyld, LICSW (DC/VA)

she/her

I am a white, cis gender, queer woman and a licensed independent clinical social worker. I currently work at an LGBTQ+ community mental health clinic in Washington DC providing gender affirming, trauma informed care for individuals 13 and up. There, I also facilitate a weekly grief support group. 

I am training within the Somatic Experiencing International lineage of somatics and am trained in EMDR. I am passionate about accompanying folks on their journey of “metabolizing” unprocessed trauma stored within the body to have greater access to their innate vitality.

I have worked in the field of sexual violence prevention and response for 9 years, and continue to be passionate about working with those impacted by sexual harm. I approach all of my clinical work through an anti-oppressive lens, which includes an anti-carceral, transformational justice approach to healing within and among community, whenever possible.
