Kav Counseling
The artistic community hasn't gotten the support it needs and many artists leave the industry or spend years struggling with dire financial and serious mental health issues. Our goal is to help our clients build sustainable careers where possible by helping solve problems related to their mental, relational and financial functioning which impede artistic work. Kav Counseling operates with the implicit sense that life can be rewarding. Dreams can find realization. Creative fulfillment and the fullest expression of one's art and life is possible and probable.
Kav Counseling clinicians bring a diverse array of experience as professional musicians and artists to their therapeutic work. Our clinical approach is based on contemporary models and practices as well as the best of the past. Our comprehensive counseling also includes strong business and legal support that works in concert with therapeutic intervention.

I've really really enjoyed my time with Krista- she has helped me so much in working on my emotional management and in reclaiming my creativity, and is consistently a bright, reassuring, and calm presence. After our sessions I feel lighter, more balanced, and ready to approach my week!
EHVerified patient
I’ve been working with Krista for several months and she’s been amazing. I felt comfortable immediately and have been able to work through several issues, with Krista listening, responding and helping me to grow within myself each step of the way. I am a creative person and would be given weekly exercises (drawing, writing, etc) which allowed me to see things in a way I’m not sure I would have through just talking.
ZVVerified patient
Krista was great. Very supportive, good listener, compassionate- everything you need in a skilled therapist. Unfortunately, she does not accept Medicare, so I have to find someone else. Offered sliding scale self-payments, but the lowest rate equaled 1/4 of my fairly low retirement income.
October 10, 2025Ellen F.Verified patient
Krista has been amazing to work with. She brings a gentle confidence to our sessions. I love the exercises she recommends at the end of each session to integrate different things we are working on. She also brings joy to our time together, even through the hard things. It's hard to explain the way she holds space and encourages you to move forward.
JCVerified patient
Could not recommend Krista more highly. Genuinely warm, wise and compassionate. I feel both challenged and totally held in our sessions, and I'm sent gently back into the world with tools, personalized prompts, and food for thought that supports safe investigation + exploration on my own.
MRVerified patient
I came to Kav Counseling with a specific focus in mind: I'm an author getting ready to release a new book and have been grappling with anxiety around this particular project (it's more vulnerable that my other work but hugely important to me). Kav matched me with Krista. From Day One, Krista has been the ideal therapist for me. She is kind, thoughtful, and caring, and holds space for me to go deep in exploring long-held attachments to unhelpful narratives and emotions. She blends practical insights with helpful metaphors, somatic "homework," art therapy, and more. I am so grateful to Kav Counseling and Krista for coming into my life at this pivotal juncture. I highly recommend Krista and this practice group to any artist/writer/creator seeking to process emotions around a new project (and life/relationships/growth in general).
HBVerified patient
Krista is a consummate professional. She is empathetic knowledgeable sensitive to artists’ needs creativity emotional and spiritual requirements and enrichment. I am so very pleased to be able to utilize her as a collatedI am so very pleased to be able to utilize her as a counselor. I recommend her very highly without reservation.
SGVerified patient
Being in Krista’s presence is healing in its own right- her warmth and sense of humor always put me at ease. Working with Krista has made me a better version of myself. I am more confident, more joyful, and less anxious. From the moment I met her, I felt like I had entered a judgment free zone filled with hope and play. Krista is the only therapist I would recommend for that level of genuine care. I wish my whole family could see her! Thank you, Krista. It’s been truly an honor.

Katherine was very easy to talk to, had great questions that made me think. I walked away feeling a little lighter.

Odie was an excellent counselor for me. I felt that I could be totally honest with them, and found their responses to be insightful, perceptive, and never judgmental. They have a cool, calm, and collected way about them that I found very grounding. They keenly identified and noted patterns that I did not always notice myself. They opened up about their own life in ways that felt appropriate and useful to our conversations. As a queer person, I felt seen and understood. As an artist struggling to forge a sustainable path, I felt that Odie offered practical approaches and actionable ideas. Overall, I think Odie is a top tier counselor whose relaxed, easygoing nature belies their evident skill and experience. I definitely anticipate working with them again.
ESVerified patient
I have a strong sense that nothing I bring up is too small or too large to discuss with Odie. She naturally creates a space to be honest in, and I leave her office feeling lighter every time. I’ve had weekly sessions with Odie for 4 months now, and have definitively gained a sense of security and ease within myself, and throughout my relationships. There is more that I’d like to work through so I feel lucky to have found a person and a space that I’m motivated to return to.
RMVerified patient
My work with Kav Counseling and Odie has been the most beneficial counseling service I've ever received. They are very attuned to the life of an artist, the current climate of the music and live event industry, and the struggles within. Each session has steered me to get a little more out of my own way, become clearer on my goals and needs, and discover ways to achieve them. My experiences are validated by someone who "gets it" - something I've not received in other counseling environments.
ASVerified patient
Odie is a great, thoughtful and persistent career coach who was very helpful in keeping me on track for my goals and offering creative solutions for next steps. She's both compassionate and understanding but also encouraging of stepping outside of my comfort zone to help reach my goals.
DLVerified patient
I can't recommend Odie enough. She's been not only an incredible source of emotional support, but also helps me plan, track, and achieve my personal goals. The way that she balances empathy with practical guidance is something I haven't ever experienced before with a counselor and I am so grateful for it. I leave each session feeling calmer, more clear-headed, and more capable of making progress towards my emotional, artistic, and professional goals.
CWVerified patient
Odie has helped & is helping me to navigate a difficult time personally & professionally, & is doing it in a way that aligns my values, goals and beliefs. She's a great listener and an exceptionally smart and insightful person. Kav is cool!!
NDVerified patient
Odie (Katherine Powell) is one of the best counselors I've ever worked with (and I've worked with quite a few). I’ve made real, measurable progress, particularly around rebuilding confidence and moving forward in both recovery and my creative work as a musician. Odie creates a space that feels safe, thoughtful, and tailored to the unique challenges that come with being a sober artist. She’s incredibly thoughtful, intelligent, and has a sharp memory, often recalling small details from past sessions that help connect the dots in unexpected and meaningful ways.
JKVerified patient
I was a therapy skeptic—No more. Odie is the best. Kind, intelligent, strong memory for linking things from past discussions. I feel fantastic progress. Highly recommend.
JCVerified patient
Excellent experience. Katherine gave me the space to freely express myself and provided amazing insight that has been truly helpful. I am looking forward to working with her and would recommend!
May 1, 2025Sacha M.Verified patient
Odie has been a phenomenal addition to my growth as an artist. The combination of talk therapy and industry counseling has been unmatched and unlike any other approach towards my self-care and career goals. If you are looking for a customized setting and unique approach, I highly recommend the opportunity to work with her in any capacity as an artist and industry professional.
ASVerified patient
I’m a musician who came to Kav Counseling for business counseling. Odelia, fka Katherine, has a ton of relevant experience in different fields and was able to help me organize my thoughts and set off on a course of action to help me with a transition in my career.
Even though I am someone who has struggled with confidence in recent years, her support has allowed me to proceed without trepidation. And after a handful of sessions, I am bringing in new business with a couple of systems in place to help me operate efficiently.
