Kate Gavigan, LPC

Staff Therapist

Philosophy

My goal for therapy is to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel encouraged to gain awareness of yourself. I enjoy working creatively to promote self-growth, self-acceptance, and develop meaningful relationships. My hope is that you will feel valued, seen, and encouraged as we navigate through life’s challenges.

Kate is a Licensed Professional counselor who received her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of North Texas.
