Kat Lawson

Kat Lawson, LPC, embodies a philosophy of counseling that honors the uniqueness of each human soul and the individual experiences that shape their perspectives. She believes that the process of individuation is essential for people to achieve wholeness and connect with their 'true selves.' Central to Kat's approach are empathy, collaboration, and validation, ensuring clients understand that they are not defined by their problems; rather, the issues they face are merely aspects of their journeys. In the safe space of the counseling relationship, she focuses on clients' strengths, guiding them mindfully to awaken awareness of their authentic selves and liberate them from displaced emotions. Kat's ultimate goal is for every individual to lead a fulfilling life. With a Master's Degree in Counseling from UAB and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Auburn University, she specializes in personality disorders, autism, and mood disorders, including major depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. As a proud LGBTQ+ ally, she welcomes clients from all walks of life. Kat is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, as well as a Certified Marriage and Family Therapist. She firmly believes that all individuals are precious and worthy of living lives marked by fearless authenticity. With a lighthearted spirit and deep empathy, Kat is eager to help others navigate the barriers that impede their happiness.
