Life can be challenging! Taking a step out of one's comfort zone to ask for help is never easy. I would love to help you asses your current situation. Together, we can then work at making changes that are positive in the present, as well as setting goals and taking action for your future. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Professional School Counselor in Texas, I have supported many individuals on their journey. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, parenting problems, grief and/or depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy, utilizing a strength based, solution focused approach. I look forward to working with you!

I'm a therapist because I believe that each of us has dignity and worth as human beings. I believe that you have the ability to change your life and to heal yourself if you have the tools and the support. I would like to help you by providing tools and being a part of the support you need to change your life and heal yourself. I hope to help you honor and love every aspect of yourself during our work together. I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and relationship issues. I also helped many people who have experienced sexual, physical, and emotional trauma. My counseling style is warm and understanding. I provide a safe space to honestly express how you are feeling and what you are thinking. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, strengths based therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy. During our first few conversations I'd like to set some goals for therapy together to give us some direction for our work together. I don't want us to be tied down to these goals, our work together will be fluid and we will change our goals as your needs change. You've already made the most important step in healing and changing your life by giving yourself the gift of therapy. I really admire the courage and vulnerability it takes to speak honestly with me about what you want and what you need. I can't wait to get started!

Kristi McClatchy
I specialize in supporting women, LGBTQIA+ folks, young adults, and mothers, ages 18-35 who may be having difficulties with anxiety or simply need a safe space to talk about their experiences and their lives. My goal is to provide a welcoming, warm, and affirming place for you to process through not only your daily stressors, but to unpack some of your childhood experiences that may be manifesting in the present moment. I believe you are the expert on yourself and my role is to listen, validate, and work in collaboration with you to establish short-term and long-term healing goals. In addition to helping folks manage anxiety and day-to-day stressors, I also have training in treating trauma related to childhood abuse and neglect. If you are a survivor of childhood trauma, I will utilize a treatment system called Internal Family Systems as well as other trauma-informed approaches to assist you in processing through those experiences. Sometimes folks have not experienced childhood trauma, but they are noticing they experienced attachment injuries in childhood. I provide education around attachment theory and can provide insights towards how we can work together to begin to heal your "inner child". Attachment injuries can often make adult relationships complicated where you may find yourself inadvertently sabotaging connections, not feeling as though you can open up or show your true feelings to others, or believing that others will ultimately abandon you. My role in these situations is to help you understand your attachment style and develop new strategies to move you towards a place of earned secure attachment, which in turn may help you feel more comfortable in trusting and connecting with others. Last, I am interested in understanding how macro-systems impact the lives of individuals. We do not exist in a vacuum; our lives are deeply impacted by our social contexts. I work with individuals who are interested in deconstructing their social environment in order to feel more empowered and free. I utilize Feminist, Postmodern, and Queer-Allied therapeutic approaches to understand how identity intersects with power and oppression. I also have some experience in working with survivors of religious trauma. I utilize Mindfulness Based approaches to assist these survivors with maintaining a sense of interconnection to the universe and their understanding of a higher power. I also believe creative expression is a vital part of the healing process. I integrate art, movement, writing, meditation, and music into therapy sessions as well. My role is to tailor our discussions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and peaceful life takes tremendous courage. I am deeply honored to support you in your healing journey! I have training the following treatment approaches: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Feminist Therapy. Unfortunately, due to limited knowledge and training , I am currently NOT able to address the following concerns: substance abuse and dependency, any and all addictions, divorce, custody disputes, self-harming behaviors within the past year, disordered eating, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, severe depression, anger management, domestic violence, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, ADHD, or if you have experienced suicidal thoughts within the past year. If we begin working together and it seems that you are in need of a therapist with more training or experience, I will ensure you are connected with a better fit! Here is a little more about my therapeutic experience: I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including a non-profit, day treatment program, and an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I have experience with providing individual and family therapy. During my time at the inpatient psychiatric hospital, I provided hospital wide trainings for nursing and direct-care staff about trauma-informed care. I have worked as a researcher and adjunct professor of psychology as well. Publication: Karcher, McClatchy, Borsuk (2016). "Pair Counseling to Promote Social Competencies Among School Age Children". Play Therapy in Middle Childhood. A.A. Drews and C.E. Schaefer (Editors). American Psychological Association. Some Fun Facts about Me: I love being outdoors. I like to go for hikes and camping trips with my husband. I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts. I'm a huge animal lover! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats who frequently join my sessions (if you have pets, they are welcome and encouraged to join our therapy sessions too!) I'm a big coffee drinker and love to visit local coffee shops. To relax, I enjoy tarot, meditation, yoga, and long walks. I like to do floral arrangements, write, and dance for fun. I'd describe myself as whimsical - I love astrology, poetry, and art. At the same time, I love science! I enjoy learning about neuroscience, animal behavior, and astrophysics. I like learning - especially about people!

Katrina Maher
I am licensed in Texas with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My clients are often those who have experienced childhood trauma, those whose anxiety hinders their ability to engage with the world and form friendships, individuals grieving the loss of loved ones or other significant losses, those who struggle with self-doubt and feelings of impostor syndrome, and individuals who feel overwhelmed by sadness or depression to the point where it affects their daily functioning. I specialize in working with adults who are ready to make significant changes in their lives but are unsure where to begin. These individuals often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about taking the necessary steps toward transformation. They understand that meaningful change requires time and effort, and they are committed to investing in their mental health journey to achieve their goals. Through years of working with a diverse range of clients, I've come to appreciate the uniqueness each person brings to therapy. Central to my practice is the belief that you, as the client, are the expert on your own experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Therefore, I employ an eclectic therapeutic approach that respects individual differences, allowing me to tailor treatment specifically to your needs. This includes drawing from various techniques and methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to ensure our sessions are effective and meaningful for you. My foundation is person-centered, emphasizing active listening and insightful questioning to deepen my understanding of your experiences. Between sessions, I provide practical tools to support your progress.
