Kathryn Prior, MA, LPC

Please note: Kat is currently full and not accepting new clients at this time. 

Independent Contractor

Kat earned her masters degree in counseling at Missouri Baptist University and is a licensed professional counselor (LPC ) in the state of Missouri.  Prior to Agape she worked at a residential eating disorder treatment center for many years. She has training in multiple therapy modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing (SE). 

She also works within the framework that our past matters because it affects who we are today and the lens through which we see the world. Her goal is to not just understand the current stressers or current life struggles, but to understand how they link to the things in our past that keep us stuck in the same patterns in our life and in our relationships. It’s like the mythological bird, the phoenix, we have to rise from the ashes of our past in order to have a new life, but we have to understand the way we have been living in order to become more wise in how we move forward.
