Katie Walsh, M.Div., LICSW

Admissions Director

Originally from Texas, Katie moved north to pursue her bachelor’s degree at Colgate University, then went on to earn a Master of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary and a Master of Social Work at Boston College. Since starting at Camp Wediko in 2003 as a Residential Counselor, Katie has worn many hats at Wediko including Program Coordinator, Senior Clinical Supervisor, and School-Based Therapist. In 2008, she began dabbling in Admissions and Outreach, and has been the Admissions Director since 2013. Katie enjoys helping families and referring professionals learn about Wediko and engaging deeply in the process of discerning “goodness of fit.” Helping families feel a sense of hope as they navigate the difficult journey along the path to healing is what she finds most rewarding and fulfilling in her work. When Katie is not on the road meeting with families and referring professionals, you can find her on campus accompanied by one of her two golden retrievers, Pearl and Oliver. Outside of work, Katie enjoys spending time with her family, hiking with the pups, tending to the chickens, and cooking with excessive amounts of garlic.
