Kathryn Luscri is a licensed professional counselor, professional life coach and speaker.
As a specialist in addictions, anxiety, depression, relationships, eating disorders and trauma
recovery, Kathryn was the founder of the Eating Disorder Specialty Program at Meier Clinics in Richardson. She taught "Study of The Family" at Dallas Baptist University and was on the counseling staff of Woodmen Valley Chapel in Colorado Springs.  Kathryn worked with Steve Barns and Associates in Denton and has had her own practice
since August of 2003.

As a woman who overcame an eating disorder while in college, Kathryn understands how difficult overcoming an addiction can be. “When I began my recovery,” she says, “I just wanted to get to a point where I could control my eating disorder. I had no idea that I could actually overcome it. I haven’t had any desire to use an eating disorder to cope with life’s problems in years. I’m totally free!”

Kathryn believes that overcoming an eating disorder or addiction is not about simply stopping the problem. It’s about creatively helping a person achieve a level of satisfaction and joy in relating to God and others so that the problem ceases to exist. “It’s not about what you lose, it’s about what you gain.”

“When I began counseling others, I focused on helping people rid themselves of dysfunctional patterns. Now, I’m starting to take clients beyond functionality and into an exciting, abundant life. I agree with C.S. Lewis’ statement that ‘It’s not that we want too much. It’s that we want too little.’”

After participating in trauma recovery, Kathryn began teaching it to other counseling professionals and pastoral counselors. “Life can be pretty nasty at times, but knowing you are always in God's presence can set you free in ways you would never imagine.”
