Kathleen Petrak, LCPC, LPC

Kathleen Petrak is a Texas-licensed counselor with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, career transitions, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She has practiced across a range of settings including community mental health, a pain management clinic, and predominantly in private practice, which has given her a broad perspective on treatment approaches and client needs.

Her work combines a foundation in client-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques, allowing her to tailor interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances. Kathleen describes her counseling style as supportive and non-judgmental; she approaches clients with respect and compassion and sees her role as one of questioning and guiding rather than deciding for the client. Treatment is collaborative and individualized to what will best address the presenting concerns.

She holds LCPC and LPC credentials, which are professional counseling licenses that authorize practice as a counselor. Kathleen focuses on practical strategies and emotional insight to help clients manage life changes, improve relationships, and build coping skills. She seeks to help clients move through difficult transitions and looks forward to supporting people as they pursue meaningful change.
