Have you ever felt shame, depression, hopelessness, a feeling of being lost, grief, and/or unsettling emotions stemming from unprocessed trauma? My clients come to me to help create the best versions of themselves, to process trauma related symptoms, to find motivation to take action on their values and goals, as well as to overcome the many stressors and traumas that life can bring. I strongly encourage you to reach out so that I can assist you with your journey towards wellness. I believe in creating a judgment-free zone within the counseling process, through the help of acceptance, empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in trauma counseling, addiction counseling, and grief/loss counseling. In my practice, I use a humanistic approach to build a therapeutic relationship, that is integrated with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that every person possesses the ability to overcome and persevere through life’s stressors and challenges. I became a counselor to help assist people in finding hope, courage, and motivation to act on their life goals. I love helping people get unstuck, helping people find light in their darkest days, and I love meeting people from diverse cultures and unique walks of life. Trust, Empathy, and unconditional Acceptance are how I would describe my therapeutic philosophy. I have professional training in using EMDR Therapy to help clients process their trauma, reduce their anxiety related symptoms, reduce their symptoms of depression, as well as overcoming various addictive behaviors. Please reach out to me so that I can assist you in your next step towards healing.

Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. This gnawing passion has led me to study the power of the mind and how to create what our souls truly desire. I’ve been blessed to study ancient technologies such as yoga and breathwork and am so passionate about sharing simple tools to effect real change. I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and have currently been practicing for 4 years. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and trained at the Shri Kali ashram in India. The types of yoga I teach focus on activating the parasympathetic nervous system to release the whole self from the ever vigilant fight or flight mode a lot of us find ourselves in on a constant basis to survive in this modern culture. In the therapy session, my main intent is to be fully present with you, free of judgment; to Become a spacious environment in which you can explore your own truth and start to shed the layers that no longer serve.

Are you searching for someone to listen to you? For many years, I have heard over and over, “Thank you, I have just been wanting someone to listen to me”. I have always felt led to just sit and listen when someone opens up and spills their heart to me. I have been a licensed social worker for 30 + years, working with clients in healthcare settings and case management. In addition to being a licensed social worker, I completed graduate school and met a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional counselor in 2022. I have worked with the senior population in skilled, nursing, private homes, and inpatient physical rehabilitation for 30 years. This brought me to not only work directly with the senior population, but also their family members to provide the love and support needed to get through life's challenges and circumstances. I have gained experience in helping work through stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, job loss, marital problems, physical limitations, and/or disabilities, as well as long-term life-altering situations. I am a wife, a mother of two young adult children, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a sister, and a daughter myself. My own life experiences help to ground me while supporting others. I understand and know how family dynamics affect an individual’s physical and emotional health in all aspects of their daily lives. I am trauma-informed. I understand and realize that traumatic experiences (no matter when they happened in life) can follow us down the road when we don't even realize it is happening. Once a client understands how trauma affects their brain function and daily life, they can realize the power they have to make positive change in their lives, where before they may have felt stuck or powerless.

I chose to change careers late in life. It has been a wonderful decision. I am able to help people in their daily lives be happy. I attended SMU Counseling Program in Plano from 2010 to 2013. I was privileged to complete my practicum and internship at the Resource Center in Dallas. I requested this opportunity so I could help as many people as possible. This was not standard procedure, but I was allowed to do the unusual. I believe clients simply want to be happy. They want to make their choices in life without guilt or shame. Everyone deserves that freedom. I hope that I can help people facilitate that life.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe that our thoughts produce our feelings and the feelings produce behavior. Getting in touch with what we are perceiving about a situation can be altered by knowing the 10 cognitive distortions in our thinking and reframing them to be rational and produce a healthier behavior. I also work with life transitions with older adults. Many of us have been effected by trauma and I offer trauma therapy by utilizing EMDR developed by Francine Shapiro in the 70's and is a very effective tool inprocessing and reducing the intensity of trauma. With older adults I offer 10 years experience working with a geropsychiatrist in Austin, Texas.

Hi there, my name is Katie Barton. My belief about the therapeutic relationship is this is one built one mutual trust, understanding and respect. My goals include working together to tell your story and develop creative thought and behavioral based solutions to overcome obstacles and develop more balance. Everyone has a story but sometimes cannot find an outlet to tell it. Do you feel stuck in your head unable to use your voice? Do you feel like patterns keep presenting and you cannot break free? Sometimes this story has deep and dark moments or complex traumas affecting the course of an individual's life. If you have moments in your story triggering PTSD, anxiety or depression, I would love to assist you through this and help change the areas no longer deserving of so much power in your life. I enjoy helping individuals work past areas in their mind causing them to feel stuck and disempowered. I hope to be able to work with you to feel empowered and brave enough to implement changes in your life. I believe anyone who is seeking therapy services is acting out of bravery and a willingness to improve one or multiple areas of life. I hope to work with you through this process to help you achieve this goal and manifest the change you are seeking in your life!
