about the founder

Cat founded Texas Mood Clinic in 2022 after  recognizing the dire need for mood disorder treatment in Texas. She has personal experience with bipolar disorder and understands how complex it can be to diagnose and manage symptoms. She is passionate about helping those who are feeling lost or hopeless in dealing with their mood disorder.

After graduating from Texas Tech University with a Bachelors degree in Clinical psychology, Cat attended graduate school at The University of Houston-Victoria where she earned a Master of Arts degree in Forensic Psychology. 

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, Cat practices under the supervision of Jaime Telfeyan, MS, LPC-S, NCC.
