Unfortunately, I do not accept insurance. Insurance companies require me to give clients diagnoses that, in my opinion, are not helpful, and they usually want to see a lot of personal information (case notes, treatment plans, etc.) that I believe should remain private. Plus, they often limit therapy in ways that don’t support healing, so I choose to work outside that system. This article explains some of the challenges with insurance in more detail: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/08/24/nx-s1-5028551/insurance-therapy-therapist-mental-health-coverage

My sliding scale spots are full at this time, but if you’re looking for low-cost counseling, you may want to reach out to Talk Therapy Austin or Enhancing Intimacy Austin. Both practices have counseling interns on staff, and their rates are similar to an insurance copay. There are other free or low-cost options here: https://justmind.org/affordable-counseling-in-austin

If you need to cancel a session, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance for individual sessions or 48 hours in advance for couples. If you provide less than 24-hours’ notice for individuals/48 hours’ notice for couples, or if you do not show up for your session, you will be charged the full session fee.

IFS Intensives and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy has different cancellation policies. Please refer to your informed consent or email me to confirm.

It depends. Some people want to work through a specific issue and will attend therapy for a few months. Others want to work through deeper trauma and long-term issues, so they may want support for years. For couples in particular, I find that “quick fixes” are rare, even when issues are urgent.

Although some therapists prefer to do short-term work that addresses symptoms, I believe in diving deep to heal the root cause of an issue. This approach may take longer, but it can also be transformative. That said, you are in charge of your treatment, and you can choose to terminate our work together at any time.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (MFT Associate) in the state of Texas. I earned my master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University, where I was trained in a wide variety of issues that bring people to therapy. I have more than 2,000 hours of direct experience to date. Before becoming a therapist, I also worked 1:1 with clients as a coach for almost ten years. Along the way, I’ve completed a number of specialized trainings, mainly in Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 3), Brainspotting, and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). I've achieved certification in IFS and NARM, and I continue to build my skills with additional trainings and regular consultation with subject matter experts. To further my learning, I am supervised by Diana Walla, M.S., LPC-S, LMFT-S. This means that I consult with her regularly on cases to provide the best possible care for my clients.

Absolutely. Everyone is welcome in my practice. In IFS, we like to say “All parts are welcome,” and that applies to people as well. I’ve worked with a wide variety of diverse clients, some of whom have held marginalized identities, and I work hard to be the best therapist possible for each person, no matter how they identify, while also being aware of the way our unique identities may impact our work together.

Everyone is welcome in my office. While I do not specialize in ADHD & Autism, many of my clients have identified as neurodiverse with unique constellations of superpowers and symptoms. To better serve my clients, I’ve sought additional training in both Autism and ADHD, including training related to IFS, and these topics remain a focus of continued study for me.

If you’re looking for a therapist who can incorporate your unique personality and preferences into your therapeutic work, whether or not you’re officially diagnosed, let’s schedule a consult to see if we might be a fit. However, if support for ADHD or Autism is your specific therapeutic focus, especially if you’re looking for coaching or executive function work, then I likely do not have the depth of expertise you’re looking for.

If you’re in therapy or working on any type of healing, I strongly recommend you find a way to support your body. In addition to talk therapy, you may want to work with trauma-informed somatic practitioners like acupuncturists, yoga or qi gong teachers, massage therapists, craniosacral practitioners, breathwork experts, nutritionists, or anyone whose approach resonates with you. You can find some of my favorite practitioners listed on my resource page: https://www.therapykat.com/resources

I offer a free 15-minute consult for all new clients, so you can see if we’re a good fit. To schedule, please call/text 512-886-2846 or email kat@therapykat.com.
