Katy Kong
I provide focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across Texas. If you’re ready to look honestly at the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, we’ll work well together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel stuck in repeating cycles — defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same arguments that never get resolved. My work is trauma-informed, which means we pay attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. I help you recognize these patterns as they happen and understand what they’re protecting. When we can see the pattern clearly, we can begin to change it. I also work extensively with adults navigating ADHD, particularly when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, I focus on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication. Therapy with me is structured, honest, and grounded in safety. We move at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level conversations and make meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

Christine Taylor
I am a licensed professional counselor and supervisor (LPC-S) with 16 years of counseling experience. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, as well as trauma and emotional abuse histories. I often draw from person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, while thoughtfully tailoring my therapeutic style to meet each client's unique needs. I believe that every person is on their own individual path, and my role as a therapist is to offer support and encouragement as clients navigate challenges and work toward meaningful change. If you are ready to take the next step on your journey to a happier and more fulfilled life, I am here to empower and support you. Some things to know before choosing to work with me: 1. My sessions are set to 45 minutes and my clients schedule their weekly sessions by choosing a session time that works with their schedule. This is done on a first-come, first-served basis. 2. Because this is an online platform, both electrical power and internet connection are necessary. Should there be a power outage or internet problem on either side, we will have to reschedule our session. 3. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please let me know the day before if possible so that I can make that time available to other clients. 4. I do not provide crisis counseling on this platform. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911, your local emergency services, or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
Martha Dianne (Marty) Burke
My undergraduate Degree is in Physical Education/English from the University of Texas/Arlington. I taught High School English and coached women's Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Cross Country before completing my Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Texas/Denton. I find that my teaching and coaching experience has greatly enhanced my skills as a counselor/therapist. I connect easily with people and gain their trust rather quickly and am able to teach them and motivate them to become their very best. I have experience working with Military personnel and their family members as a Department of Defense Counselor and as a Military Family Life Counselor. I have experience working with substance abuse having provided counseling for persons ordered to treatment by the courts. I have been providing counseling services for over twenty seven years both in private practice and as a full time employee, first with Dallas County Probation, then Department of Defense, then MHN as a consultant with the Military community. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I have to see what the client resonates with then offer that for them. I believe every person deserves to be safe and happy and i give my very best to help them achieve this. Because I have done a lot of trauma work i do a lot of work around the inner child. When you are raised in a dysfunctional homeor have experienced abuse and/or trauma the inner child, the keeper of the feelings often shows up to add a wrinkle to your present life. It is necessary to connect with the inner child and do some healing work in order to be happy in your present life. Sometimes it is hard but the end result is a completely happy person, comfortable in their own skin and in control of their emotions.

Kaitlyn Russell
Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m a therapist with six years of experience working with trauma-related concerns across multiple levels of care, including inpatient, acute, and outpatient settings. I support individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and difficult relationship patterns. Many of the people I work with are highly capable on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected internally. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in both compassion and practical tools. I incorporate somatic and nervous-system–focused work alongside evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, attachment-based therapy, and parts-oriented perspectives. Together, we work to understand patterns, reduce shame, build emotional regulation skills, and help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself. I aim to create a space where you can slow down, be honest about what you’re experiencing, and feel supported as you move toward meaningful change. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy—just a willingness to begin.

I have lived almost my whole like in SE Texas. I have one daughter and two grand boys. My husband and I have been married for 21 years. We live in a small town and have horses, a donkey, chickens and love to play in the dirt. I have lived in large cities and I understand that place of life as well. I am very interested in helping the whole body heal; body, soul, and spirit. I do not believe you can separate your physical and emotional self. One step at a time, one day at a time we can become better versions of our self finding peace...but it is work. Are you ready for a fresh start? Ready to dig out the weeds and plant new seeds? Seeds that produce healthy fruit. Let’s till and tend to the garden of your soul (mild, will and emotions) together. It’s not too late... come as you are. We all have seasons that we need support.
