About Katy Welch, LPC, MA, NCC
Hi! My name is Katy Welch!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, born and raised in the Greater Houston area. I completed my master’s decree in Counseling at Sam Houston State University.
I specialize in working with adults seeking to address concerns such as anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, self-esteem, shame, depression, stress management, and trauma. I am passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment to process your thoughts and concerns together. I value being present with you and exploring how you can utilize your strengths to overcome life’s challenges.
My therapeutic approach incorporates several counseling theories, tailored to your unique needs and concerns. I also enjoy utilizing mindfulness and self-compassion to help you reach your personal goals.
Outside of counseling, I love spending time in nature, trying new restaurants with family and friends, and going for walks and running. It’s important to me to take time to laugh, be a little goofy, and to be adventurous to keep life interesting!
I believe that we all deserve to have a space where we feel supported, encouraged, and empowered. When you feel ready to take the next step in your journey, please feel free to reach out and schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation with me. I’m very excited to get to get to know you!

Your first therapy session with be focused on getting to know you, the concerns that bring you to therapy, and creating goals. You can share at whatever pace you feel comfortable-- it's important that you feel safe. You can also bring any questions that you have about the process of therapy. After goals are formed, at each session, I will prioritize making sure you have space to process any pressing events from your week or whatever is on your mind. If nothing is pressing in the present, I will offer direction as to how we can reach your goals together through processing or therapeutic activities. I also often offer additional resources such as books, videos, and actionable exercises to complete outside of session on your own time.
My priority is making sure you have a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns. If you ever feel that your therapy is not headed in the direction you would like, I welcome feedback so that we can ensure you are reaching your goals. This is your therapy journey, and I will be there to support you along the way!
