KATE CZAR, PhD
(she/her)
Evidence-based therapy delivered through a strength-based, relational approach
Welcome! I offer mental health counseling to adults, both in-person and video-based in Texas as well as video-based counseling for individuals in PSYPACT-participating states.
I primarily work with college-age adults and young professionals.
I'm proudly allied with queer, transgender, and BIPOC communities. I unequivocally affirm the dignity and humanity of people of color, LGBTQIA+ communities, and all individuals and groups bearing the pain of oppression based on identity factors such as skin color, ability, size, language, and citizenship status.
