Panic attacks can feel terrifying and out of nowhere… but they’re often your body’s way of asking for help. In Boise, I offer counseling for panic and anxiety that helps you slow down, understand the signals, and find calm again. You are not broken or alone. With support, you can learn to respond with compassion instead of fear and begin to feel safe in your body again.

My counseling style is empowering and grounded in humor, with a focus on helping you grow both personally and professionally. I specialize in reframing negative thought patterns, building self-confidence, and developing practical tools to tackle stress, anxiety, and life changes. Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I’ll help you find clarity, set healthy boundaries, and align with your values. If you're seeking insight, structure, practical tools, and someone who will reflect your strength back to you…you’re in the right place.

Hi! I’m Katharine Jamison, a licensed counselor in Boise specializing in stress management, anxiety treatment, and career development.

When Panic Is Trying to Protect You

Most people don’t realize how smart their bodies are…
If you’ve ever had a panic attack, it probably didn’t feel intelligent. It felt like chaos—racing heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath, maybe even the terrifying fear that you were dying or losing control. You might have ended up in the ER or pulled over mid-drive, convinced something was terribly wrong.

But here’s the strange truth: panic attacks are often your body’s way of trying to protect you.

They’re not proof that something is wrong with you… they’re a sign that something in your life has been off for too long—and your nervous system is sounding the alarm.

Counseling Helps You Decode the Signals

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

  • Understand what’s driving the panic

  • Respond to symptoms without spiraling

  • Set boundaries that protect your emotional energy

  • Create structure and nourishment for your nervous system

  • Restore a sense of safety in your body

Panic is not a character flaw. It’s a message. And when you learn how to hear it clearly, you can respond without fear running the show.
