Listen "Adapting and Wasting Nothing with Dr. Kate"
Episode Synopsis
Kate, Ph.D. is an LPC Supervisor and LMFT Supervisor in Texas who had an unconventional start. After completing her music degree, she began teaching, but when she began having family troubles, she went back to get her counseling certificate. Kate quickly recognized that this change would benefit her students too.Kate made her first attempt at private practice while still in school but had difficulty handling both school and business full-time while managing her husband being deployed, raising 3 kids, and fighting breast cancer. When she finished her program in 2007, she and a trusted mentor began the practice again. It wasn’t long before she expanded beyond the couch and took her love of teaching and turned it into creating more teachers.Now, in addition to her full-time virtual clinical work with couples and families at Achievebalance.org, Dr. Kate teaches university-level courses and designs continuing education courses for Texas mental health professionals and staff, including the first completely online, 40-hour LPC/LMFT supervisor course in Texas.Want more of Kate? Join her on her YouTube Channel, Instagram, and two Facebook groups: Texas Supervisor Training and Texas Counselors Creating Badass Businesses.Interested in joining our conversations about private practice?
