Katie Lepkowski

Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, focused on blending creativity and connection.

My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be real, challenged enough to grow, and supported every step of the way. We’ll work on gaining insight, building coping tools, and untangling patterns that aren’t serving you anymore.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll find me soaking up the sunshine. Whether I’m camping, kayaking, traveling, or just relaxing by the pool. I’m a proud plant parent and a novice gardener. I share my home with two very opinionated fur-babies: a Catahoula pup and a snuggly tabby cat.

Education: I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Texas State University and went on to receive my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I focused on mental health and substance use. I also had the opportunity to study Ecotherapy while abroad in England, combining my love for nature with my therapeutic approach.

I enjoy supporting teens and adults working through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, maladaptive coping skills such as self harm, substance use, all through a trauma and survival lens. Together, we’ll explore what’s behind these behaviors and find healthier ways to cope. LGBTQ+ affirming, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and accepted.

With years of experience in different levels of care, including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient, I bring a steady, compassionate presence to help you feel more like yourself again.

I’m Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an effective/creative approach to healing trauma.

No matter what we are addressing, I’ll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and a bit of humor to help lighten the load.
