Katie Owner Padma

Hello!

The Owner & Therapist of Padma

I began Padma Counseling and Consciousness out of my passion for treating people with a history of trauma. “Padma” is the Sanskrit word for “lotus flower.” In Buddhist parables, the lotus flower blooms out of the mire and mud, and represents rebirth and enlightenment out of the suffering in life.

I believe that every person, regardless of life circumstances, has the potential to grow and bloom from within to become a content, renewed individual.

Warm & Inviting

Coming to therapy can seem intimidating at first. I am here to guide you through this process in a space of safety and comfort. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation with any questions or concerns that you might have.

FAQs

I charge $165 per session and typically last about 50-60 minutes. Sliding fee scales can be discussed upon request.

I accept Cigna, Aetna, Oscar Health, United Healthcare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, and Oxford. If you are using your out of network benefits, I will gladly provide a Superbill upon request. To be reimbursed for out of network services, you must present a Superbill to your insurance company. I would be glad to answer any questions your have about insurance and Superbills.

Online therapy utilizes video in real time, just like an in person session. Our first initial session gives us the chance to get to know each other better, go through paperwork, and form therapy goals together.
I offer a mixture of mornings, afternoons, and evenings both during the week and weekend. We will collaborate together to make therapy work with your schedule.
Simply go to our contact page, or “Get in Touch” section at the bottom of the home page. There, you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation to determine if therapy with me is a good fit.
The truth is, there is no difference. Counseling and therapy are two terms for the same process.
I require a 24 hour cancellation notice. If you do not cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged a full session fee to the card on file.
