Licensed Therapist in Louisiana

Hi! I’m Kaytee.

I am a therapist who works with those who have survived traumatic families. I am also a survivor, so I get it. Many of us lived through trauma, chaos, dysfunction, and abuse, and are struggling with how to live a happy and fulfilling life with all of the lingering feelings and symptoms that stay with us as a result of these experiences.

Many of us notice the impacts of our history in our relationships, friendships, even in our professional life. My books and articles all center on educating survivors and clinicians about how symptoms of these experiences show up, and how to learn to work through- or live with- them.

Many of us grow up and enter relationships that mimic the dysfunction we experienced with our caregivers. It takes time to learn to understand and break these patterns. But helping others to recognize them is a passion of mine!

I am also a full time PhD student researching intimate partner violence at Michigan State University. And while academic journals can be cool and all, I like the idea of having information that is accessible and available to those who need it, when they need it.

I’m a writer for Psychology Today where I post regularly about trauma and healing- my column name is “Invisible Bruises,” or you can click on the Psychology Today tab on here. All my articles there are free!
