Katrina Kauffman

Katrina (Katy) Kauffman works with adults who look like they have it all together on the outside while feeling completely stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. She specializes in ADHD and executive function challenges, high-pressure career burnout, academic anxiety, young adult transitions, and supporting parents of children with special needs; the people carrying the heaviest mental loads and doing it largely without letting it show.

Katy is a wife, mom, and recovering perfectionist. Her approach is rooted in Existential Psychotherapy, which means she and her clients look at patterns and choices through the lens of what gives life meaning, sorting through what's working, what isn't, and how to find a sense of agency again without the whole process feeling like one more thing to manage. With her background as a former Registered Dietitian, Katy holds space for each person as a whole human: mind, body, and everything in between.

Katy is currently completing her clinical training at Texas Woman's University, though her path here has been anything but a straight line. She's shaped by a wide range of experiences, including living and working across cultures and sitting with people whose stories look very different from her own. As a clinical intern, she offers deeply individualized, closely supervised care at an accessible rate.

When she's not in the therapy room, Katy is with her family, cooking, working through a long list of creative projects, or adding to a towering to-read pile that has officially gotten out of hand. She believes in the restorative power of nature, community, and creativity, and in the idea that resilience isn't just something you're born with, but something you grow into, especially through the hard stuff that was never yours to carry alone.
