What others are saying about Katy:

"I have been to a few therapists in the Bowling Green area and had mix results. From the first time that I spoke with Katy, I knew she was the one for me. She was so easy to talk to and really listened and helped me through my childhood traumas and anger management issues. She is the only person I recommend!"
