Katie Trent

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Hi! I'm Katie Trent, a LCSW with over 12 years of experience providing counseling, support, and resources to equip and encourage strong, faith-filled families.”

About Me

I understand the unique joys and challenges of building a family rooted in faith. Drawing on over 12 years’ experience, I guide families to strengthen their bonds and navigate life’s complexities. We explore practical tools and resources, fostering open communication and resilience. My aim is for every family to feel equipped and encouraged, finding peace and purpose together.

Approach

Sessions move from heartfelt sharing to doable steps, mixing attentive listening with clear, faith-sensitive strategies that honor your family's values. Whether we meet in my Boise office or online in English, sessions run at a steady, predictable pace—short check-ins, focused exploration, and practical skill practice between meetings. I help families and individuals map patterns around anxiety, anger, adoption and life transitions, scaffold new communication habits, and use brief, measurable goals so change feels manageable. This approach suits those seeking faith-honoring tools and everyday rhythms for calmer, clearer family life.
