I have only had one session with Katie so far, but she is one of the kindest and most insightful therapists who I have spoken to. I felt very comfortable right off the bat being able to talk with her. As her bio states, she absolutely approaches her sessions with no judgment and takes the time to talk through the best course of action. I also really appreciate that she chooses direct questions as opposed to vague ones as it helps my brain process the question and formulate a helpful answer. She listened to me ramble about things when I couldn't articulate what I meant, and she very much validated me as a person with my struggles and victories.

I'm a retired USMC Scout Sniper with more mental health issues than most. Give therapy a chance and know it is a process not a blue or red pill scenario. Katherine is vastly more careful and professional than any of the many others before her that treated me. Why settle for being a number at the VA when you can have a name and an open line of communication with someone who understands the importance of having personal experience with mental health care. Everyone has mental health issues so don't feel alone. Only the smart ones have the courage to do something to make life better for themselves and the people who are in their lives. Thanks Katie.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
