Meet Our Addison, TX Therapists

Katie is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas. She graduated magna cum laude from Texas Woman’s University with her master’s degree in counseling and development. She began her career focused on substance abuse, which gave her the opportunity to work with a wide variety of diagnoses and co-occurring disorders as well as facilitating group therapy for children impacted by a loved one’s addiction.

Katie is experienced in treating people struggling with the impact of trauma/PTSD, anxiety and depression, family of origin issues, substance use/abuse, self-harm, suicidal ideation, mood and personality disorders, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, disordered eating, chronic pain, codependency, relationship issues, and women's issues. Currently, she works adolescents and adults.

Katie is certified in EMDR, an evidence-based method of reprocessing and integrating traumatic experiences. In addition, she utilizes attachment theory and internal family systems (IFS) to make connections between past experiences and current behaviors and issues in the client’s life and relationships. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as the means of turning relevant observations and insights gained into attainable goals and an actionable plan.

Katie believes the relationship between client and therapist is one of the most impactful aspects of therapy, so maintaining a warm, safe and non-judgmental atmosphere is central to her practice. She looks to understand and build upon the client’s current strengths while collaboratively setting goals and determining practical steps to create change that leads towards a thriving life. Embracing change can be uncomfortable, and Katie will guide, encourage and challenge clients throughout the process.

Dayna also brings the wisdom of someone who has lived, learned, and walked through many of life’s complexities herself. She is deeply trained, highly skilled, and committed to offering a confidential, judgment-free space where clients can uncover the timelines of their past, understand how those experiences shape their present, and reconnect with their values, dreams, and aspirations.

Aubree is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate) supervised by Nicole Reger, LPC-S, and she’s not your typical therapist. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University, Aubree is all about helping clients navigate the messy, confusing, and high-pressure parts of life that no one really prepares you for.

Aubree specializes in the real stuff people are actually dealing with—anxiety that keeps you up at night, depression that steals your energy, trauma that sticks around longer than it should, ADHD chaos, relationship drama, identity questions, self-esteem struggles, grief, stress, codependency, and the kind of emotional overwhelm that makes you feel stuck in your own head. If it feels heavy, complicated, or hard to talk about, she’s the person teens and young adults want in their corner. Aubree works with adolescents (10+), young adults, adults, and couples.

Her style? Warm, real, and zero pretense. Aubree brings authenticity into every session—no clinical coldness, no surface-level clichés. She uses an integrative, human-focused approach pulling from DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Her sessions feel like a mix of deep self-discovery, emotional honesty, grounded skills, and conversation that actually feels human.

Aubree believes therapy should feel like a team effort, not a lecture. She sees each client as the expert of their own story and loves helping people challenge the patterns that hold them back, build confidence, understand their emotions, and create lives that feel genuinely aligned with who they want to be. She values creativity, meaningful connection, and finding moments of joy—even in tough seasons. Aubree is a big believer that progress beats perfection every time, and she celebrates every small win right alongside her clients.
