I’m Katya Stark, MS, LPC, NCC
I provide individual and couples/relationship counseling to clients in Oregon and Utah through secure online therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, with training in Gestalt therapy, somatic therapy, and Emotion-Image Therapy (EIT).
I specialize in working with people who feel stuck in repeating patterns in their relationships—with partners and with themselves. Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from their needs, or unsure how to communicate clearly. I help people become aware of these patterns and support real change by building emotional awareness, strengthening communication, and developing self-trust so they can create healthier, more satisfying relationships.
My Counseling Services
As a queer person born and raised in a conservative culture, I have personally experienced oppressive harassment because of my sexual orientation and gender expression.
As a gay-friendly therapist and counselor, my primary focus is on offering support that is uniquely tailored to the challenges and experiences faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
For individuals who identify as LGBTQIA, navigating their gender identity can be challenging and often requires support and understanding. Gender identity is a deeply personal and complex aspect of our lives.
Grief is a natural response to loss, encompassing many emotions. It is not limited to the death of a loved one but can also be triggered by various life changes, such as the end of a relationship or the experience of a traumatic event.
Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of despair, unable to see beyond your current state of mind? If so, therapy could be the key to unlocking a path towards emotional well-being.
Anxiety is a common human experience that we all encounter at some point in our lives. As a mental health counselor, I am committed to guiding you toward a balanced and fulfilling life.
I have gained valuable experience working closely with lesbians and others across the queer spectrum.
I know what it means to acculturate and make new connections to question identity and navigate interculturally.

Using Your Insurance (Out-of-Network Reimbursement)
In Oregon, I am currently in network with PacificSource, Providence, and Moda, and I also accept insurance through the Headway platform.
In Utah, services are offered on a private-pay basis only.
If you have questions about insurance coverage, rates, or getting started, please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information—I’m happy to help you explore your options.
I offer superbills as an option for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance. A superbill is a detailed receipt that you can submit directly to your insurance company and includes all required information such as provider credentials, diagnosis codes, service dates, and fees paid. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and is handled directly between you and your insurer.
If you have questions or need support submitting a superbill, I’m happy to help guide you through the process.
Sliding Scale
If my fee is a barrier, I may offer a sliding scale under certain circumstances. Please inquire about the availability of my sliding scale slots when you first contact me.
Cancellation Policy
If you cannot attend a session, please cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
