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. If you provide less than 24-hours’ notice 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. 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) Associate and a Marriage and Family Therapist (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 1,000 hours of 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) and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). I've achieved certification in both approaches, and I continue to build my skills with new trainings regularly. 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 ADHD, and I’ve worked with several Autistic Clients as well. 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 ADHD and Autism 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 ADHD or Autism is your therapeutic focus, then I may 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 who resonates with you and helps you stay in your body. Working with the body is an important part of trauma work in particular, but only do what feels safe to you and your body. If you’re looking to move your body and you don’t know where to start, consider glo.com or theclass.com.

I also recommend educating yourself. You can always ask me for book recommendations. Some of my current favorites are No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Ph.D, anything by Gabor Maté, Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, and The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. If you’re looking online, irenelyon.com is a great place to learn about nervous system support.

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.
