About Katrina

Katrina Fairchild

LPC-S · Georgetown, TX

I'm a licensed therapist who has spent years working with children, teens, and the families who love them — especially those who've started to wonder if anything will ever actually help.

I have a particular place in my heart for kids who've been labeled "difficult," "too much," or "too emotional." In my experience, those labels rarely tell the real story.

LPC-S — Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor — is the highest licensure level in Texas, authorizing me to supervise other licensed therapists in addition to my own practice.

My story

How my passion developed

Growing up, I found myself drawn to the kids around me who seemed to be struggling on the inside while working hard to hold it together on the outside. I watched how easily they could be misunderstood — by teachers, by peers, even by parents who genuinely cared but didn't quite know how to reach them.

Those experiences stayed with me. They shaped the way I think about behavior — not as something to be corrected, but as something to be understood. Every child acting out is communicating something, and learning to listen to what's underneath changed the way I see this work entirely.

I began my career in non-profit work, supporting children and families navigating some of the most traumatic CPS cases imaginable. That work shaped me in ways I carry into every session today. For the past seven years I've been in private practice — and the through-line has always been the same: the kids who feel most misunderstood deserve the most skilled, most compassionate care.

I also deeply enjoy working with adolescents navigating identity, school pressure, and the complicated — often isolating — work of figuring out who they are.

My approach

What I believe about this work

Behavior is always communication.

Every child acting out is trying to tell us something. My job isn't to stop the behavior — it's to understand what's underneath it, and help the child find a better way to be heard.

Struggling is not the same as failing.

There's no shame in finding things hard. Emotions are complicated, relationships are hard, and growing up — at any age — takes real courage.

Being “in progress” is a sign of growth.

We are always developing, including our sense of who we are. Uncertainty and struggle aren't problems to fix — they're evidence that you're still growing.

Let's see if we're a good fit.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. If you have questions before booking, I'm happy to answer them — no pressure, no commitment.
