Hi!
My name is Katie Thornton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Nevada, Maine, and Wyoming. I am trained in EMDR therapy possess 7+ years of experience working with various backgrounds from outpatient and residential settings to working with children, adolescents, adults, veterans, and families through a variety of different challenges.
I was a counselor for 15 years prior to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have been a prescriber for the past 8 years. I have always focused on children, adolescents, and adults in my practices.
I’m a dual Board-Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can openly share your story and begin your journey toward emotional balance and well-being.
I bring both medical and mental health expertise to my work, allowing me to understand how physical and emotional health are deeply connected. I strive to meet each person where they are — with empathy, respect, and collaboration — while helping them move toward lasting change and inner peace. Outside of mental healthcare, I enjoy working out, yoga classes and nature photography.
