About me

My name is Kathryn Kirkland-Franco and I am so happy you are exploring opportunities to improve your overall wellness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in the State of Texas. After many years of experience, I find myself pulling from a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on the needs of the individuals I serve. My foundations are primarily Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe the answers to many life questions and issues can be found inside ourselves and that they can more easily be tapped into when we engage in a trusting therapeutic relationship. When I meet people through the course of normal daily interactions, they often guess that I am a therapist, citing my calm and reassuring nature. I encourage you to reach out if this is the kind of therapeutic relationship you are looking for and if not, I wish you all the best and congratulate you on your progress toward self-care.

I have made significant personal growth with Kathryn's assistance and insights. She is an excellent listener and has a vast amount of experience and expertise. She has helped me immensely. I appreciate her calmness and ability to hone in on the important issues and bring the conversation back around to that if needed. I feel like things I learned I carry outside the session and am able to use other tools better, like meditation and self -care. She knows her stuff!
