Helping self-aware, insightful people build lives that are no longer organized around survival.

  • You've built an impressive life, but you're not sure how to actually enjoy it.

  • You want deeper, more authentic relationships but aren't always sure how to ask for what you need.

  • You worry that prioritizing yourself means becoming selfish.

  • You're rebuilding trust in yourself after experiences that taught you your thoughts, feelings, or intuition couldn't be trusted.

  • You're exhausted from trying to get it right and are ready to start figuring out what feels true instead.

  • You understand yourself pretty well, but that hasn't made it easier to actually change anything.

  • You and your partner keep having the same argument and can't find your way out of the loop.

Hi! I’m Katie

Your favorite therapist’s favorite therapist

I'm Katie Barillas, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), currently working toward EMDRIA certification. I'm based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and work with clients throughout the state via telehealth. My practice is private-pay only, so there's no insurance company second-guessing your treatment plan.

Most people can explain their problems perfectly. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even been to therapy before, and still feel exactly as stuck as when they started. That's because knowing why you do something and actually stopping are two different skills. I use EMDR and somatic exercises alongside talk therapy because real change happens in the nervous system, not just the conversation.

My clients are a mix of high-achievers burning out from perfectionism, people rebuilding their sense of self after religious trauma, and couples who are tired of walking on eggshells around each other. No matter the issue, I'm here to help you get your needs met… finally!

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

― E. E. Cummings
