Meet Katie Rohwer

Hi, I’m Katie (she/her).

I was adopted at just three days old and traveled across the country to grow up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My adoption story is a meaningful part of who I am. As a kid, I was a proud tomboy and cowgirl, always eager to connect with others (two-legged and four). I found my true home at the barn among the horses. They have always been my first love.
 

From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with people. When I was 16, my mom gifted me a book about building a career with horses (yes, I was definitely that kid!). That book inspired me to pursue equine-assisted learning, and eventually, I partnered with my first horse, Scotty, who quickly became my muse and co-therapist.

Scotty

Together, Scotty and I supported hundreds of people through some of the most challenging moments in their lives. He passed away in 2023, just before I decided to return to school to become a therapist. Even in his death, Scotty continued to teach me about life and resilience. His photo now hangs in my office, and I often draw on his gentle presence and wisdom in my daily work. He had a knack for seeing someone fully, even when his eyesight failed him in his final years on earth.
 

Outside the office

Besides horses and animals (though really, what else is there), I enjoy gardening and diving into whatever new interest sparks my curiosity. At the moment, that includes vermicomposting and exploring literature about women with ADHD. I share my home with three ducks, two geese, two cats and a tripod dog named Teddy. I love to bring a playful sense of humor to everything I do, which helps me connect with people and find joy.
