I was in therapy with Katherine for about 6 months. Therapy sessions with her consisted of me…read moretalking most of the time, and her barely giving me any feedback. But I was in a bad place and desperately needed to talk to a professional which is not what I found with her at all. She is so unprofessional that she even ate on two separate occasions while in therapy with me. It is so wrong for a counselor to eat while in session with a patient. As a patient you pay lots of money for a counselor to listen and talk to you. How was she going to counsel me with her mouth full of food? This was only one of the many signs of what a poor counselor she is. The reason I stopped being her patient is because I had to cancel an appointment with less than 24 hr notice. My appointment was at 9 am the next day and I cancelled the day before around 5pm. When asking her, if she was going to charge me any cancellation fees she said yes because it was less than 24 hrs. I asked her if she could maybe not charge me for this cancellation, she agreed to charge a little less. But then she started to be really rude towards me. My problem with that was that in the past she cancelled two of my appointments with less than 24 hours and as a patient I had to accept this and was totally understanding of her situation. Other counselors have had no problem with me cancelling as long as I do it the day before. She also lacks an appointment reminder system. I always communicated with her in a polite way and that's not what I got in return. A couple of months after I stopped being her patient I was absolutely surprised when I found out she was still charging my credit card (she likes to keep her client's cards on file). At that point she had overcharged about $187. When I contacted her about this very serious issue she was vague about her reasons, blaming my insurance company. I had to waste a lot of time fixing this problem. She was not helpful at all, when I asked her for a refund, she not only did not refund me the money but charged my credit card again! Overall she charged my card more than $350!!! On top of everything she told me to stop contacting her when she still owed me all that money. At that point I had to go to my bank and dispute her charges. About 10 days after this dispute, she did refund me the money and the overcharges, but this says a lot about how organized she is. I obviously do not recommend anyone to have counseling with this woman. Besides the nightmare with her overcharging my credit card, I think a mental health professional should be more caring, respectful, patient and sensible about her patients.

Katherine understood me well and wouldn't let me get too far ahead of myself in my therapy. When I asked for resources outside of therapy she provided them.

I reached out to The Practice this past spring (2018) due to the onset of intense anxiety attacks,…read morestemming from a string of public speaking events required of me in my new job. From my perspective it was a rather urgent situation, though I never expected to be squeezed in on short notice. And yet I was, because the therapists at The Practice are genuinely caring, compassionate, and proactive about the well-being of their clients. Once I started EMDR (trauma) therapy, it was game on. My therapist, Lindley Domingue, has a reputation for being the best EMDR therapist in Austin and I can tell you it's well-deserved. The progress I made over 3 months was remarkable, there's no other word for it. Knowing a little about the process (but not much), I felt very safe in her hands as she explained everything in our first session. The next few sessions were about assessing my needs and specifics about my situation, before she took me through the actual EMDR process. With this type of therapy, results are different for everyone, but for me not a session went by in which I didn't experience a significant leap forward or profound insight to what had been holding me back and keeping me stuck in the past. It's not an overstatement to say the experience was life-changing for me. Some of the best money I've ever spent. For the record, I've had the same (excellent) talk therapist for many years, and I wouldn't trade her for anyone. But in this instance I needed a different kind of help and I needed it fast. I could've really blown it at my new job, or gotten off to a slow shaky start. Lindley refused to let that happen. I've never felt safer or in better, more qualified hands. The office is a beautiful, serene space, and the other therapists seem equally authentic, caring, and knowledgable. (I've met more than a few over the years, all over Austin, and there's no comparison. Honestly, it's scary how stuck in the dark ages some therapists are.) The Practice is just next level. Very progressive, very informed, and highly skilled.

If you are in the need of someone you can trust and talk with about making positive changes in your life, I cannot recommend a brighter soul.

I have gone through so many people over the years and have felt so defeated and really worse than when I started. I was simply searching for someone authentic and kind and who genuinely cares and doesn't cut you off mid-sentence to say that time is up. Her incredibly unique approach to therapy is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR for the entire industry and should genuinely be the standard of care. She offers an entirely different experience, and the effects of her approach are almost immediate. I have never felt so listened to and heard. She genuinely wants to help me with what I am coming to her for, and I can feel it, and that alone is so tremendously healing. Her approach is an incredible blend of methodical, gentle, focused, and fluid based on your needs for that day. She marries the art and science of therapy in a way that works so quickly for my brain and heart. If you are seeking genuine support through life's complexities and are through with the typical experience that traditional therapy offers, have a consult with Paige and you will know right away what I mean. If you are struggling with big life decisions, need guidance and clarity, need to work through trauma, or need to work through something big or small, please do not wait one more second to book a consultation. You will not regret it. I will be with her all the way to the finish line...(If there is there a finish line for this work. ). I know that therapy can be kind of miserable. It's not with Paige. It's genuinely lovely. Even when you are working through something hard, she won't let you leave the call mid-misery. She will bring you somewhere better than when you came on.
