Ocular Melanoma patients face a LOT in their diagnosis journey. Facing the fear of recurrence, the fear around scans, fear of dying - there's a lot to unpack. Join us to hear from Katie Wilson, a therapist and patient herself, who specifically studies resilience and the development of post traumatic growth.
Katie Wilson is a therapist and an adult educator. She received her master’s degree in counseling Psychology from Gonzaga in 2003. She has worked as a mental health clinician for almost 20 years specializing in trauma. Katie was a psychology instructor and spent several years teaching for North Idaho College. As a Ph.D. student at the University of Idaho, she has done extensive research on transformative learning, attachment theory, posttraumatic growth, and human flourishing in the adult organizational leadership and learning program. Katie has a history of volunteer work at Hospice of North Idaho and currently volunteers as an advocate for the Ocular Melanoma Foundation in which she provides education and mental health care for newly diagnosed cancer survivors. Katie is also a cancer survivor and is passionate about helping individuals live their best lives following trauma.
