Counseling in McKinney for Teens, Moms, and Women & Online Across Texas

Katherine Washington, LMSW

Supervised by Denise Capurso, LCSW-S, LCDC

If life feels like a lot right now — whether you’re deep in the newborn chaos, riding the emotional rollercoaster of being a teen, or just exhausted from trying to hold it together — you're in the right place.

I’m a therapist who’s also a mom, a former perfectionist, and someone who’s had to learn (the hard way) how to slow down, ask for help, and stop trying to do it all.

When I had my daughter, I thought I was ready. I planned everything down to the detail... and then she showed up three weeks early. I had an unexpected C-section, a messy start to breastfeeding, and more sleepless nights than I could count. That season completely rearranged me. It also gave me a new kind of strength — the soft kind. The kind that knows rest is part of the work.

Now, I work with teens, moms, and women who are going through their own version of that messy middle — the part where things feel confusing, emotional, or just way too loud inside your head.

Therapy with me isn’t about being “fixed” — it’s about figuring out what actually helps you feel like yourself again (or maybe for the first time). We’ll talk, cry, laugh, breathe, and make space for whatever needs attention. No pressure, no judgment. Just real support.
