From Dr. Katie Cantero

Welcome to StarBrook Therapy Center! I am a licensed clinical psychologist, based in Carrollton, Texas. I am passionate about working with people who are struggling with a variety of issues to help them navigate a path of healing. My husband and I have settled in Carrollton with our two daughters. I am originally from Northern Wisconsin, and I enjoy spending time with family in Texas and Wisconsin.
I earned a doctorate in psychology from Rosemead School of Psychology in Southern California, and I had eight years of supervised experience and training prior to opening this private practice. Before training to be a psychologist, I received my BA in both psychology and theology at the University of Notre Dame.
My training sites included a homeless outreach center, a community mental health center, a private practice, a foster care mental health clinic, a university counseling center, and an elementary school. During my training experiences, my clients included homeless adults, foster children, elementary school students, outpatient adults, children with autism, children ages 0-5, and university students. I have had the privilege of sharing therapeutic journeys with a variety of people, ranging in age from 9 months to 65 years, people of various nationalities, ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations, and abilities.
The diversity of my training experiences all had one thing in common: nothing is more important than an authentic therapeutic relationship. My focus in my private practice is on relationships. I use what’s called an attachment-based psychodynamic approach, which is a long-term approach with an emphasis on building a unique and authentic therapeutic relationship. Your struggle did not come about on its own, and I do not expect you to get through a problem or heal while you are alone either.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to all new clients so that we can assess if we are a good fit to work together prior to engaging in sessions. If you would like to schedule your appointment, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!
