Today, we’d like to introduce you to Katy Manganella. Katy was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Julie Burke.
Katy, thank you so much for joining us today. We’d love for you to bring our readers up to speed – can you introduce yourself and share your story?
Sure! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and I own Austin City Counseling, a small group therapy practice located in beautiful Austin, TX.
Taking it way back to the beginning, I’m a native Texan and grew up on land about 2.5 hours away from where I live now. I knew early on that I wanted to be a counselor. I went straight from undergrad to grad school and graduated with my MA in Counseling Psychology in 2010. After graduating, and before being in private practice, I spent several years (like 7 years) working in homeless services across various parts of the country, including NYC, North Carolina, and eventually in Austin, TX.
I went into private practice in 2018 and opened my own business in July of 2020. Austin City Counseling. I work almost exclusively with Millennials and Gen Zs with anxiety and anxiety related issues now, such as people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, low self confidence, and over-working / performing, and burnout.
On a more personal note, I’m a dog mom, wife, hiker, and pizza lover.
Please tell us more about your practice.
Austin City Counseling is a private practice offering mental health therapy to Austin’s Millennials and Gen Z’s! We opened our virtual doors in July 2020 and exclusively offer video therapy, so folks can access high quality mental health care from wherever they are most comfy. We pride ourselves on being humans first and therapists second. Therapy with us is always relatable, compassionate, and practical.
Julie Burke and Violet Crown Therapy have been great to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship with them as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Julie Burke and Violet Crown Therapy and your experience with them.
It’s honestly hard to know where to start! I love Julie Burke so much. Julie and I met by pure chance on a Facebook group for therapists years ago. At the time, she helped answer a question for me that led to us working together for years. And on a more personal note, was the beginning of one of the most meaningful friendships I’ve ever had.
As a clinician, Julie is smart, relatable, and compassionate. I trust her immensely and refer folks to her every chance I get.
