Hi, I’m Katerine Lickteig, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Master’s degree from Prairie View University and specialize in helping individuals of all ages overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. As a certified EMDR therapist, I have successfully worked with clients to heal from past trauma.

I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges. When this happens they may find themselves asking, "Who is there to listen without judgement?" or "Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?" These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it's too much to navigate on their own.

I'm a strong advocate, and I can help you to advocate for yourself too. I can be a listening ear, a helper, someone to have an open honest dialogue with. I use humor and relationship to help people feel well supported and motivated towards their goals.

I describe myself as a “hope dealer” with a passion for mental health. Over the past six years, I’ve worked with TDCJ, nonprofits, and juvenile justice systems, gaining experience in abuse and neglect, trauma, substance misuse, anger management, recovery support, and women’s and veterans’ issues.

I provide Mental Health Counseling, Substance Misuse Counseling, Anger Management services, Trauma-Informed Care, Drug & Alcohol Screenings, Assessments, Referrals, SASSIs, and DOT Assessments.

Grounded in ethics, creativity, and compassion, my approach feels like a conversation at your kitchen table—supportive, safe, and nonjudgmental. I walk with you step by step as you heal, grow, and reclaim hope.
