Amy Koster Bohrer LPC

A Word From Amy Koster Bohrer LPC Vulnerability. Choices. Freedom. “We need our lives back. It’s time to reclaim the gifts of imperfection-the courage to be real, the compassion we need to love ourselves and others, and the connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life. These are the gifts that bring love, laughter, gratitude, empathy and joy into our lives.”  Brene Brown Life Happens One Degree at a Time I’m Amy Koster Bohrer…

Gina Martin LPC Aware. Action. Peace. A Word From Gina Martin LPC Hi, I’m Gina Martin LPC, and I want you to know that you matter. It’s that simple. I can tell you that my own path to that realization has been long, arduous, and recent. It began with a parent-child dynamic that left me feeling somewhat devoid of parental-approval, but we deal with that, don’t we. The Preacher’s Wife The next thing a good…

About Our Associate Counselors

Professional Counselors 1Hi, I'm Kathleen Mills, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Certified Employee Assistance Professional. I have spent the last 30 years as a mental health professional operating Life Tree Counseling.

One of the professional accomplishments I am most proud of is having mentored over 30 licensed counselors at Life Tree Counseling, preparing them in all aspects of running a practice. I get a particular thrill out of watching them "leave the nest" to start their own.

About 6 years ago I decided to become a certified Supervisor and add, "Associates", to those I mentor. An Associate is a newly licensed counselor. In Texas they are required to practice under the supervision of another counselor for a period of 3000 hours.  That Supervisor must have more than 5 years of fully licensed experience, and the proper certification training to be a Supervisor.

Our Associates see the same clients that fully licensed counselors do, they just do it under supervision. They also tend to charge a lower fee during their 3000 hour supervisory period.

In addition to running my group practice and supervising Associates I am also very involved in PracticeMentors.us which my partner, Phillip Crum, and I established almost 8 years ago. The sole objective behind PracticeMentors is to "Protect, Equip, and Defend" the next generation of mental health counselors, to better prepare them to run a compliant mental health practice. We hold workshops, webinars and create content for counselors in order to achieve that outcome.

Consider Working With One of Our Associates

I personally hand-pick every Associate associated with Life Tree Counseling and I'm proud to say the selection process is fairly rigorous. The right person will have a heart to help others, a good bedside-manor, and a very solid, prove-able work ethic and the ability to get along with the rest of my team with no exceptions. There's more, but just that criteria sets them apart. Think of it as getting two counselors for the price of one at a lower cost! I hope this answers most of your questions and I look forward to working with you.
