Katy Larson, LPCC - Lexington
Being a human in this world can be so difficult and confusing! I love to help people become a version of themselves they can feel good about. If we are not clear on what our personal values and goals are, we can end up feeling lost with no direction. My training helps me to help people gain insight into the ways their past experiences have shaped their present. The process of changing and doing things differently often involves working through difficult feelings such as grief, shame, and regret; no one should have to deal with these feelings alone. The better we understand ourselves, the more empowered we are to take control of our lives and become our most authentic selves. I am here to provide a safe space and to create the conditions necessary for healing and lasting change. See Profile on Psychology Today |

I am committed to helping clients learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and with others.

Cody Hester, LPCA - Northern Kentucky
Hi, my name is Cody. After attaining my Master of Science in School Counseling at Mississippi State University, I started working on my Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision. My life goal is to teach the next generation of counselors. Counseling for me is companionship, and companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing for me in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship. I utilize a variety of integrated theories and techniques such as Play therapy techniques, CBT, REBT, DBT techniques, Reality/Choice theory, Narrative therapy techniques, and Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) theory. Everyone lives life through different lenses. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. My emphasis on the view of human nature in counseling theory provides me with a combination of modalities for supporting normal day-to-day individuals through abnormal situations. My school counseling degree also supports me in providing informed care on the language and experiences of all developmental stages through relationships, identity, a full range of emotions, lack of emotions, grief, trauma, adverse and complex trauma, oppositional behaviors, and other emotional behaviors. |

Rayne Welch, MSW, CSW - Telehealth Only
My use of CBT techniques help my clients to first become aware of harmful, maladaptive, or unwanted thoughts and behaviors. After that, we can explore where these thoughts and behaviors stem from, what triggers them, how to prepare for them, and ultimately how to redirect and counteract them. By shedding light and awareness to the problem(s), we are then able to take our power back and lead our thoughts in a direction and manner that is positive and fulfilling to our lives. My clients tend to come back to me due to the strong therapeutic alliance we build. I aim to create a safe space where my clients feel comfortable to share and discuss anything. I won’t flinch at even the most intense topics (believe me, I’ve seen worse), and I will match your energy and meet you where you are at. |
