Katie Hokanson, LSW

Position:  Mental Health Practitioner

Department:  CTSS

Credentials:  Licensed Social Worker (LSW)

Location:  Brainerd High School

Hired: 2018

Works with clients ages:  14 – 18

I thoroughly enjoy working with teenagers in the school setting, and I love that I have worked with some of my clients throughout their high school journey.  It is wonderful to see their growth and change as they make their way through their final years of school before graduation!  I also work with the best team of therapists and practitioners 😊

I appreciate the flexibility Northern Pines has offered me.  As a mom of two young boys, I have been able to be there with my kids for parent volunteer opportunities at school and field trips as a parent chaperone.  I have also been able to fit in some vacations with my family (and some trips just for me!!!).

Most of the time, you can find me on a soccer or football field, or at the hockey rink, bringing my boys to practices and cheering them on at games!  Spending time with my family and friends is very important to me.  I also love decorating, going to flea markets and antique stores, and refinishing furniture when I have free time.
