Support for life transitions, relationships, trauma, and understanding your emotional world.
When Life Feels Overwhelming
You may feel stuck in the same conflict with your partner. The same argument keeps happening, and the distance between you is getting harder to ignore.
Maybe you're moving through pregnancy, postpartum, another life transition, or past trauma has left you feeling overwhelmed or unlike yourself. This can be a place to slow down and start making sense of what you're feeling.
Feeling Truly Understood
When someone finally understands what you are feeling, things can begin to make more sense.

A Place for Understanding
People often reach out when something in their life or relationships feels confusing, painful, or stuck, or when a past experience still feels unresolved. Therapy creates space to slow down, understand what is happening, and start working through it together.
-
Many couples find themselves stuck in the same arguments or patterns of disconnection. In couples therapy, we look closely at the cycle that keeps both partners feeling hurt or unheard and begin working toward greater understanding and connection.
-
Past experiences, including relational trauma or childhood experiences, can continue to shape how you feel and relate to others. This work focuses on understanding how those experiences show up in the present and what they are asking for.
-
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring profound emotional and physical changes. This time often includes mood shifts, anxiety, questions about identity and motherhood, or difficult experiences around pregnancy or birth.
Together, we create space to process birth experiences and understand what you are going through.
-
Living with anxiety or depression often makes everyday life feel heavy or confusing. Our work focuses on understanding the emotions underneath these experiences so they begin to make more sense.
-
Major life changes can bring difficult questions about identity, direction, and relationships. Such changes may include career shifts, military relocation, fertility struggles, miscarriage, or adjusting to new roles within a partnership or family. Our work focuses on understanding what this transition means for you and finding your footing through it.
About Global Feminist Therapy
Kathleen Cogan
I’m Kathleen Cogan, a licensed professional counselor providing online therapy to clients in Texas. My background in political science, feminist studies, and community organizing continues to shape how I think about emotions, relationships, and the contexts in which people live.
As a feminist, I believe the body we live in and the world around us matter. Our relationships, identities, and experiences all shape how we understand ourselves. At the same time, there are core human needs we all share, including the need to feel seen, understood, and connected.
My approach is collaborative and relational. I see each person as the expert of their own life, and therapy as something we create together. Often, this includes paying attention not just to words, but also to emotions, patterns, and physical experiences that may be harder to put into language.
In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you are feeling, reduce a sense of aloneness, and move toward more secure and meaningful relationships.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I work with adults and couples. Many clients reach out when their relationship feels stuck in repeating conflicts, when they are navigating pregnancy or postpartum changes, or when anxiety, depression, or a major life transition has made things feel overwhelming.

Feminism is a way of understanding the world and the systems that shape people’s lives, including experiences of oppression related to gender, race, sexuality, and other identities. In therapy, this lens helps make sense of how those experiences may impact emotional well-being and relationships.
My approach is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives. At times, this means acknowledging how external systems and experiences have caused real harm, and considering those experiences as part of the process of healing and feeling better.
-
All sessions are held online. This allows clients anywhere in Texas to access therapy from a private and comfortable space.
-
Yes. I have training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and work with women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This can include postpartum depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or the emotional changes that come with becoming a parent.
-
While I do not file insurance claims, I do provide a statement of services, which can be submitted to insurance for possible reimbursement.
Sessions are $200 for individuals and $225 for couples.
A Place to Start
Most people begin therapy when something in their life or relationships no longer feels sustainable in the way it has been. The work often starts with understanding what has been happening beneath the surface.
