In life, you are surrounded by pests. Anxiety and depression can swarm around your head and can’t seem to go away. When you're faced with a life transition or another issue, it can be a challenge to move on. There is hope, and that hope comes in the form of a counselor based in Waxahachie. 

Waxahachie’s meaning is not entirely known, but it’s speculated to mean “cow’s tail.” A cow’s tail swats at any flies that comes its way, as should you. A counselor can help you swat at all the pests in life and help you to accomplish your goals.

Thank you for choosing this platform for navigating life's ups and downs. My name is Katherine, and I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over five years of clinical experience. I have worked collaboratively with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger, ADHD, and unresolved traumatic experiences. My counseling style is empathic and creative. I believe in providing a safe space that is warm, engaging, and compassionate to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients.

Every person is unique, which is why your individual needs will establish the foundation of your treatment plan. I applaud your spirit to search for answers and create a more fulfilling and happier life. You are at the right place, and it would be a privilege to support and empower you through this journey.

Hi - I'm Sam! My pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified life coach who loves working with clients ages 20-39. My clients get the best of both worlds when we work together: the clinical expertise of a mental health professional combined with the consistent encouragement and accountability structures of a certified life coach. My clinical expertise is in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, complicated grief, and adjustment disorders. I've worked with a diverse range of people throughout my career including specialty populations such as service members and Veterans, oncology and hospice patients, and college students. I use evidence-based therapy modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Grief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Crisis Response Planning. As ​a coach, I love coaching people around topics such as self-compassion, boundary-setting, life purpose, money mindset, decision-making, and assertive communication. My therapy style is empathic, direct, and goal-oriented, and I am extremely collaborative in my sessions. I want us to be on the same page, and we will work closely together to develop your treatment plan, overcome your "stuck points," experience healing, and begin truly living your life, again (not just existing in it!). You will quickly notice my laid-back nature in our sessions. I encourage all of my clients to come as they are, and I will do the same! You will always be welcome and encouraged to ask any and all questions that come up during our sessions because I want you to take an active role in your care. I am passionate about teaching my clients how to advocate for themselves as it is a necessary skill to thrive in the world we live in today. Finally, my practice is rooted in my values, some of which include anti-racism work, healthcare equity and inclusion, and having unconditional positive regard for all people. I am just as interested in your unique background, identities, and life experiences as I am your presenting mental health symptoms, so we will talk about both equally! I've worked with a variety of client populations such as military/veterans and their families, LGBTQ+, college students, oncology patients, foster/adoptive parents, and individuals experiencing homelessness. I consider it a great honor to serve as a vessel to your story and experiences, and I love helping my clients who have survived trauma reclaim their power and take back their health and future. You have already done one of the hardest things, which is reaching out for support! I have learned that the only way out...is through. I'm looking forward to walking alongside you in this next chapter. Beautiful things await on the other side...see you there!
