Associate-level therapy with supervision built in.
Willow & Arbor therapists are associate-level counselors. That means they've completed graduate training and are working toward full independent licensure while practicing under required clinical supervision.
At Willow & Arbor, supervision isn't treated as a hidden administrative detail. Dr. Katherine Barteck provides direct clinical supervision, case review, consultation, and oversight of the care model.
This structure allows Willow & Arbor to offer more accessible fees while keeping licensed psychologist oversight built into the practice.
You know the structure: before therapy begins, you should know your therapist's credentials and how supervision works.
You know the cost: fees are listed clearly so cost isn't hidden until after you reach out.
You know the starting point: the consultation helps determine whether Willow & Arbor may be an appropriate place to begin.
You don't have to pick perfectly from a page.
A therapist profile can help you get oriented, but it doesn't have to answer everything. The consultation helps sort out who may make sense, what availability looks like, what service type fits the concern, and whether another direction may make more sense.
What the therapist works with
A profile can help you see whether a therapist commonly works with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, grief, relationships, children, teens, couples, or families.
What kind of therapy you're seeking
You may be looking for individual therapy, couples therapy, child or teen therapy, family therapy, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, or telehealth. You may not know yet.
Whether the format fits
Some therapy may happen in person in Johnson City. Some may happen by telehealth across Tennessee when privacy, safety, participation, and fit make that appropriate.
Whether another direction makes sense
If Willow & Arbor isn't the right fit, that matters. The consultation should help name when another provider, service, or level of care may be more appropriate.
What it costs
The initial consultation is free. Sessions are self-pay. Fees vary by therapist. View the fees page for current rates.
How the first step works
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation, not a commitment to ongoing therapy.
Therapy can begin from different doorways.
The right therapist also depends on what kind of support you're looking for. These are the main starting points at Willow & Arbor.
Individual therapy
For adults carrying anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship patterns, identity questions, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm.
Couples therapy
For relationships where conflict, distance, betrayal, resentment, silence, or the same unresolved conversation keeps returning.
Child and teen therapy
For young people navigating anxiety, mood changes, school stress, identity questions, family strain, social pressure, grief, or behavior concerns.
Family therapy
For communication patterns, parenting strain, transitions, conflict, or stress affecting more than one person.
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
For identity, relationships, family stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and support that doesn't treat identity as the problem.
Telehealth therapy
For online therapy across Tennessee when privacy, safety, participation, and fit make telehealth appropriate.
Fees
The initial consultation is free. Sessions are self-pay and vary by therapist and type of appointment. Willow & Arbor doesn't bill insurance directly. Therapy is provided by associate-licensed therapists under the clinical supervision of Dr. Katherine Barteck.

Willow & Arbor can be a place to begin therapy when the fit is appropriate, but it isn't an emergency service, crisis line, or substitute for urgent care.
