                  Katy Byrne, MFT has been described as a "lightning 
                  rod," being able to assess and treat clients according to 
                  their own needs and strengths, listening deeply to their  
                  wishes and enlisting the client in the plan for improvement or 
                  personal growth. Katy believes that therapy is a team effort, but 
					her tools and interventions 
                  offer effective changes for clients. 
                  Counseling is a process that includes 
					emphasizing your strengths and natural gifts. There are rare 
					places to work through your issues like this, with this kind 
					of safety. She also understands deeply the relationship 
					between eating and relationship needs.  
                  
                  
                  
					
					Katy has done an in-depth study 
                  of coupling, Gottman, Hendricks, Snaarch, Scarf, and many 
                  others. She's interviewed 
                  experts for radio and television and utilized their brief or 
                  long-term therapy techniques and approaches to help people 
                  talk to each other and come through the tunnel to the other 
                  end, into the light of more fun and closeness. 
                  
                  Need coaching?   
					Katy can give you 
					short or long term coaching for any reason. 
					
					  
                  Katy Byrne, MA, MFT, 
                  licensed family therapist, has been in private practice for 
                  over 30 years. Her compulsive eating led her to multiple therapies 
					and writing, which led to her hairball book and finally to a 
					comfortable body.
                  
                  The Courage To Speak Up: 
					Getting your Hairballs Out, and her second book,
					
					The Power of Being Heard. 
                  
                  It is my 
					conviction that conversation can change the world.
