Discovering Healing and Growth at Willow Tree Counseling & Consulting

Hello, and welcome! I’m Kat Apple, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here to Willow Tree Counseling & Consulting LLC.

Starting a blog feels like opening a new chapter—both for me and hopefully for you too. This space is designed to be more than just a place to share my thoughts; it’s meant to be a resource, a gentle companion, and perhaps even a source of hope as you navigate your own journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Why I Do This Work

For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I believe that with the right support, you can not only survive but live a life that inspires you.

My approach is rooted in compassion and the belief that you already have strength within you. Sometimes, we just need help uncovering it. Through our work together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process emotions, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with your authentic self and values.

What You Can Expect Here

Through this blog, I’ll be sharing insights on topics close to my heart and relevant to the work we do together:

• Managing anxiety with holistic approaches

• Healing from PTSD

• Understanding depression

• Building healthy boundaries

• Finding freedom from codependency

• Navigating life transitions

• And so much more

My goal is to provide practical strategies, compassionate perspectives, and maybe even a little inspiration for those moments when the path forward feels unclear. While blog posts can never replace the personalized care of therapy, I hope they offer you tools and encouragement along the way.

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with adults and teens through telehealth therapy, which means support is accessible no matter where you are in Kentucky. I have particular expertise working with Veterans, individuals navigating codependency, depression, anxiety and those healing from trauma. I’m LGBTQ+ allied and welcome clients from all backgrounds and circumstances.

Every person’s story is unique, and I’m committed to tailoring our approach to fit your specific needs and goals.

Let’s Connect

If you’re reading this and thinking, “maybe it’s time to reach out,” I encourage you to trust that instinct! Whether you’re in crisis or simply ready to invest in your well-being, you don’t have to face this journey alone.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk about what brings you to therapy and discuss whether we might be a good fit. You can reach me at (502) 797-7867 or through email at KatAppleLCSW@gmail.com.

Thank you for being here. I’m honored to share this space with you, and I look forward to connecting—both through these blog posts or in our work together.

With warmth and respect,

Kat Apple, LCSW
