​
Hello & Welcome!  I am so glad you are here.
My name is Katie Abney & I am a licensed Professional Counselor &
A licensed professional Marriage & Family Therapist  in Austin, Tx.  CHoosing a therapist that is a good match for you is very important & I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me & what I do.

My background:
I have been working with clients in a private practice Setting since 2013.  In addition to working in private practice, I have gained experience in a number of different settings including a child & adolescent inpatient unit, adult forensic inpatient unit, residential treatment center for boys, & in home therapy for children on the Autism Spectrum. 
I have a passion for working with parents who are struggling to understand & manage their child’s difficult behavior as well as for adolescents & young adults seeking support during life transition or crisis, & those seeking healing from childhood trauma or past experiences.

My Philosophy:
I  believe that as humans, we are hardwired to connect.  THis need for attachment & connection begins in the womb & continues throughout our lives.   our experience with attachment largely contributes to our emotional functioning, how we view ourselves & those around us, how we function in relationships, & much more.  It  also sets the stage for how resilient we are when faced with challenges & traumatic events in our lives.  Insecure attachments or disruptions in  attachment can greatly impact  how children & adults function in life.  Strengthening the parent-child relationship as well as healing past wounds plays a central role in my work with clients.
