Katy Wait

Fifteen years of psychotherapy practice have shaped Katy Wait into a clinician who knows how to meet people where they are. Working from Eden Prairie, Minnesota — with online sessions available — she serves a wide range of clients: teenagers navigating early adulthood, adults managing life transitions, and couples and families working through conflict, loss, or change. Whether someone is untangling a difficult family dynamic or figuring out what to do next in their career, Katy brings the same grounded, personalized attention to each situation.

Her approach weaves together solution-focused and strength-based methods, starting from the belief that clients already carry meaningful resources and abilities within them. The work is about helping each person recognize those strengths and put them to use — including in the moments that feel most stuck, like a conversation with a spouse that keeps ending the same way, or a family dinner where everyone is present but no one is quite there. Katy offers both practical feedback and genuine compassion throughout that process.

Her areas of focus include anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment challenges, professional burnout, domestic and emotional abuse, and the many complications that arise within marriages, families, and caregiving relationships. Sessions are collaborative, tailored, and aimed at the specific growth each client is ready to pursue.
