Ava has been a tremendous encourager and influence in my life. She helped me navigate through some very challenging times with a balance of empathy, understanding and constructive input. I would highly recommend anyone to connect with Ava if you need a caring, listening ear and someone to inspire you to see your best self — then take action to work towards reaching your healthiest/happiest/highest potential as God intends for all of us. Ava is a dynamic leader, professional counselor and truly a person with a heart of gold!

Dr. Ava Kate is as genuine and passionate as counselors come. Any woman that goes to her will immediately feel safe and accepted. She connects with her clients on a very deep, heart-to-heart level. Whether you pursue individual therapy, one of her amazing groups, or any of her other services, you can be sure you will grow in ways you don’t even expect and make the changes you’re hoping for. She is my go to referral, and I feel confident in any woman I send her way!
