Kate Balke, LMSW, Texas Therapist
Texas Based Therapist Specializing in the LGBTQIA+ Community and Teen Therapy
Dedicated to helping you feel empowered
I believe that everyone deserves to be heard.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported exactly as they are.
I specialize in therapy for LGBTQIA+/queer young adults and teens 16+, who are navigating the challenges of anxiety, perfectionism, and high expectations. My approach is warm, empathetic, and affirming, offering you a safe space to explore your identity, manage stress, and align with your true self. With experience as a school social worker, I bring a unique understanding of the pressures faced by high-achieving students and young professionals.
I tailor our work to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR Therapy and mindfulness techniques. My goal is to help you uncover your inner strength, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create the life you’ve envisioned.
Starting online therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. Together, we’ll build a partnership based on trust and respect to help you thrive on your own terms.
