Hello! My name is Katherine McVay, and I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas. With six years of professional experience and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, I deeply strive to understand the challenges many face.

I have a background working with children and adolescents, college students, and individuals. In addition to my work with individuals and groups, I have also had the opportunity to work with couples and families, helping them improve their communication, mend relational patterns, and develop practical strategies to support one another. I genuinely believe that we all can find pathways to understanding and healing.

Over the past four years, I have offered online and in-person counseling sessions, reaching out to clients from various backgrounds and addressing important topics such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and the difficulties that come with life transitions. I recognize that each of these areas can feel overwhelming, and I am here to support you through each step.

My primary focus is on helping survivors of trauma and guiding individuals through life changes. I am passionate about finding creative solutions to your challenges, utilizing innovative interventions and self-monitoring activities designed to empower you.

As your counselor, I will strive to create a warm and safe space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Together, we will work to instill a sense of empowerment and foster trust in both the counseling process and your own instincts. I am a Neuro-Affirming and LGBTQIA+ Affirming clinician, dedicated to ensuring my practice is inclusive and welcoming for all. Additionally, I may incorporate various modalities into your treatment to meet your needs, such as EMDR, Trauma-Informed Care, or Animal-Assisted Counseling practices with my cat partner, Theodore Rigby. Taking the brave step to start counseling is a significant milestone, and I want to commend you for taking this important journey towards healing and growth!
