About

With a compassionate approach rooted in trauma-informed care, Kate Dobbin, MS, LMFT-Associate, brings a wealth of diverse experience to her therapeutic practice. Over the past four years, Kate has dedicated herself to helping individuals from all walks of life, including veterans and those experiencing homelessness, navigate their mental health journeys.

Kate's educational foundation stems from Texas Wesleyan University, where she earned her Masters degree in counseling. This academic background, combined with her hands-on experience in private practice and with vulnerable populations, has shaped her holistic approach to therapy. She believes that the root cause of many anxiety, panic, and depression symptoms often lies in unprocessed traumatic events, coupled with a lack of effective tools to manage these symptoms.

In her practice, Kate utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge cognitive distortions that clients may have about the world, other people, and themselves. For clients dealing with traumatic experiences, she employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Kate became EMDR basic-trained in December 2021 and has been practicing this technique consistently for the past two years, helping clients effectively process memories to alleviate symptoms of PTSD and other trauma-related complications.

Kate's primary goal is to create a comfortable and safe space for her clients to process difficult emotions and experiences. She approaches each session from a trauma-based and client-centered perspective, aiming to equip clients with practical tools they can apply in their daily lives. Her client focus includes individuals ages 10 and up, addressing a range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic disorder, trauma experiences, substance abuse and addiction, and grief and loss.

As an LMFT-Associate supervised by Misti Sparks, LMFT-S, Kate continues to grow and refine her skills in the field of marriage and family therapy. Her commitment to ongoing learning and diverse experience make her a valuable asset to those seeking support in their mental health journey.
