Meet Dr. Carhart

Hi, I’m Dr. Katie Carhart—a licensed clinical psychologist offering virtual therapy to adults and couples in select PSYPACT states through secure online telehealth sessions. I’m passionate about helping clients break free from patterns that leave them feeling stuck so they can live with more purpose, clarity, and connection.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, ADHD, and burnout. Whether you're navigating a life transition, healing from past wounds, or feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day demands, I create a space where meaningful change can happen.

I bring 13+ years of experience in hospital, outpatient, community health, occupational health, and correctional settings. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Texas A&M University, completed my pre-doctoral internship at Bellevue Hospital–NYU, and my postdoctoral fellowship through Community Health Center, Inc. I'm certified in trauma treatment and authorized to provide telehealth across PSYPACT-participating states.

My therapy approach is integrative and collaborative. I tailor our work to your needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for couples
Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, and Interpersonal Therapy for individuals

At the heart of my practice is the belief that therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe. I aim to build a trusting, supportive relationship where you feel heard and empowered to create lasting change. I am committed to equity, inclusion and respect for each person'a lived experience.

In addition to therapy, I offer specialized psychological testing, including ADHD evaluations and diagnostic clarification assessments. These evaluations provide clear answers to guide treatment, medication planning, and next steps, so you don’t have to navigate uncertainty alone.

If you're looking for a psychologist who combines clinical expertise with a compassionate, grounded approach, I’d be honored to connect with you.

Is therapy right for you?

If you're considering starting therapy, the first step is scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, talk about what you're looking for, and see if we might be a good fit.

Whether you're seeking therapy for ADHD, depression, parenting stress, or feeling stuck in your relationship, you're welcome to ask any questions you have about my approach and the therapy process.

If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you a link to my secure ZenCare portal, where you can complete your intake paperwork and access our video sessions for online therapy.

I know that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I work to make the process as simple and supportive as possible. This first call is a no-pressure way to see if you feel comfortable taking the next step toward therapy, and toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and supported. Reach out by email to set up a time for your free consultation call to get started!
