Kristi McClatchy, LPC

Kristi McClatchy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on supporting women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, young adults, and mothers between the ages of 18 and 35. She offers a warm, affirming space to address anxiety, everyday stressors, and life transitions while also exploring how earlier experiences influence present-day patterns. Kristi approaches therapy with a collaborative stance, treating each person as the expert on their own life and working together to set both short-term and long-term healing goals.

She has specialized training in treating childhood trauma and often incorporates Internal Family Systems as part of a trauma-informed framework to help survivors process painful memories. Kristi also provides education about attachment theory and helps clients identify and heal attachment injuries that can complicate adult relationships - fostering skills that move toward earned secure attachment and healthier connections with others.

Kristi integrates Feminist, Postmodern, and Queer-Allied perspectives to examine how identity and social context shape personal experience, and she has supported survivors of religious trauma using mindfulness-based techniques to restore a sense of interconnection. Creative expression is woven into her practice through art, movement, writing, meditation, and music, and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs. Kristi has training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and Feminist Therapy.

Due to current training limits, she is not able to address substance abuse or dependency, addictions, divorce or custody disputes, self-harming behaviors within the past year, disordered eating (including anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder), Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, severe depression, anger management, domestic violence, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, ADHD, or suicidal thoughts within the past year. If a different level of expertise is needed, Kristi will work to connect individuals with a better fit.
