About
Kate Tower, LCSW
Hi! I'm Kate Tower, LCSW, and I have spent the last 15 years as a counselor. I take joy in connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly those struggling with anxiety disorders, fear, loneliness, depression, chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship challenges, and any other struggles where managing tough thoughts and emotions is essential. My goal is to help you embrace your inner experiences while actively chasing a fulfilling life that aligns with your values.
I am truly passionate about empowering individuals to lead meaningful lives by honoring their thoughts and emotions and pursuing the values that resonate most with them. My approach is warm and personable, offering guidance as you develop adaptable coping strategies to meet life’s challenges head-on, thereby enhancing your psychological well-being and resilience. I would be thrilled to partner with you on your journey toward improved health, self-compassion, and personal growth. All my services are provided virtually through platforms like Sondermind, Talkspace, or Headway, which allows me to accept various insurance plans while also offering flexible self-pay options. I’m committed to helping you navigate life’s hurdles and achieve the healing and growth you deserve.
When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me hiking, kayaking, exploring waterfalls, snapping photos, quilting, and enjoying board and card games—all while spending quality time with my family and friends, including my husband, three dogs and cat. My furry buddy Winston is pictured with me below! Originally from Indianapolis, IN, I’m still a loyal fan of the Colts and Pacers. However, I will cheer for the Saints if they aren’t playing the Colts, and the Memphis Grizzlies unless they’re up against the Pacers, as well as the Memphis Tigers, unless it’s against an Indiana team! I remain neutral on the IU and Purdue rivalry, though! I now live in Tennessee, and I absolutely adore the stunning nature around me and the more temperate weather we get to enjoy!

Experience
Clinical Expertise
I have been a therapist for 15 years, and have 3 years of experience doing virtual therapy. I'm licensed in Indiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I am a Certified Clinical Telehealth Provider and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have experience with pretty much every age group from toddlers to 104, and love working with everyone! I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health centers, inpatient care, schools (elementary, middle, and high schools), shelters, nursing homes, and military installations, and helped clients through many different struggles. I enjoy the diversity of people I have had the honor of assisting, and really value what we each bring to the table.
