Katie Demerath-Cook

Campus Advocate• She/Her/Hers

As the Campus Advocate at Reach Counseling, I support students at Lawrence University and the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh who have experienced sexual violence while also providing prevention education on healthy relationships and collaborating within the Reach team on outreach initiatives across campus and the community. For more than 20 years, I have cultivated safe, healthy connections through coaching basketball and community engagement. 

I earned a B.A. in Sociology from St. Norbert College, where I played collegiate basketball, and an M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Lakeland College. My work blends behavioral science, mental wellness, and athletics to foster healing. I am passionate about empowering survivors, honoring each person’s unique journey, and offering a calm, compassionate presence that reminds every client they are not alone.
