About me

Hello,
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with M.A. in Psychology & Counseling in Texas practicing over 10 years. I have worked with various age groups, ethnicities, genders under different settings, i.e., hospitals, residentials, private firms, & etc. I have experiences of working with various issues including various mood disorders/issues as well as personality disorders, ptsd, family issues, couples issues, gender issues, & more. I believe in resolving issues by exploring the root of the problem behaviors whether they be anxiety, depression, OCD, or relationship conflict.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Psycho Dynamic approaches are among my favorites to work with. I enjoy analyzing with my clients their thought patterns & behavior tendencies through exploring their childhood & current life to find some answers that they are looking for. It’s the best! Some times the process can be painful. That’s our defense mechanism stripping. It will be worth it though, when you make it there:)

Regards,
Katy Kong

I get a lot of help from talking with her

Written on Sep 14, 2024 after therapy with Katy for 2 years and 9 months on issues concerning addictions, family conflicts, and anger management

Katy is a great listener and has incredible insight to detect inner issues and struggles. I am impressed with how quickly she was able to identify my inner struggles and start working with me towards resolving them. She can be a bit too direct at times, which I suppose is needed in order to help one “see” struggles and grow/reflect towards resolving them. I highly recommend her.

Katy is very kind and knowledgeable. She challenges me exactly when I need it most and supports me through sensitive issues. I always feel more grounded and empowered after our sessions.
