Clinicians & Referring Providers

contact me to explore a referral

referring a client?

I welcome inquiries from psychiatrists, PCPs, and fellow therapists. I'm happy to do a brief phone consultation before you refer, and I'll keep you informed if it makes clinical sense to do so.

I'm a good fit for clients who:


  • Need Linehan Board Certified DBT and can't access it through their current provider.
  • Have struggled to benefit from general talk therapy modalities.
  • Are motivated, self-pay, and ready to do meaningful work.
  • Have complex trauma, somatic symptoms, problems with mood regulation and complex grief.
  • Have maximized their benefit from psychiatric medications or are wanting adjunct services to address their needs.

I'm not the right fit for clients who:

  • Require insurance billing.
  • Need immediate crisis-level or higher levels of care.
  • Are currently in acute psychiatric instability.

Don't take my word for it:

"As a woman in medicine, navigating a career can be intimidating. Katy has helped me progress professionally and also enriched my personal life. She has helped me set goals
I would not have thought possible, moving toward a more balanced, productive and purposeful life.
I’m so grateful to have found her!”

- laura c.

“Katy is one of the most genuinely caring people I’ve met. She always speaks from a place of compassion. She makes it easy to talk about things I’m uncomfortable taking about with other people, but I have never felt judged by her. She is completely understanding and always kind.”

- jacquelyn R.

“Katy is so amazing! I was dealing with some serious anxiety about pursuing a professional opportunity, and she helped me get clear of mindset issues that were getting in the way of my ability to move forward. I will definitely work with her again in the future.”

- sara b.

“I am so grateful to have found Katy. She has helped me progress both personally and professionally. She is compassionate and honest, and has shown me that past struggles can lead to a more purposeful and fulfilling life.”

‘It’s obvious that Katy knows her stuff. She lives and breathes what she’s teaching, which really comes through when working with her. I would definitely recommend Katy.’
