Kathleen Choe - Board Secretary, Co Chair Education Committee

Kathleen is a Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor with a private practice in Austin, Texas.  She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy through the EMDR International Association and in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy through the Natural Lifemanship Institute, and enjoys combining these powerful specialties to serve people recovering from trauma, catastrophic loss and toxic stress.  Kathleen’s childhood was full of furry friends, including horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and chickens and she loves how her “outdoor office” at the farm offers clients a chance to experience the similar benefits of being in nature surrounded by animals, including her trusted equine partners:  Sterling, Copper, Spirit and Chief.  In addition to providing therapy, Kathleen is committed to growing the Equine Assisted Services field through training, teaching, writing and continually learning.  In her spare time, Kathleen enjoys spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren, and her rescue dog Emma.
