Catherine Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. Over the last ten years, Catherine has focused her practice on bringing health and wholeness to families and children by supporting children who have endured trauma and equipping parents to be therapeutic agents with their kids.

Ms. Richardson has training in several evidenced-based practices such as child parent relationship therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and child-centered play therapy. She has served as an expert contributor to national publications such as Shape.com, Oprah Magazine, and Well + Good.
