"Great service!"
"She is the best and most wonderful psychiatrist that has worked with me compared to previous psychiatrists I had. Psychiatrists would just throw me on so many meds and too many med combos that just did not work for me. Kathie really listened to me and was able to find me the right meds and the least amount of med combo. I am glad I found her because I am doing so much better than I ever have in such a long time. I highly recommend Kathie!"
"I've been seeing Kathie for many years now & never felt more understood. When I first came to see her, I was in a severe state of psychosis & my life was rapidly spiraling downward. At my worst, it seemed I was losing my mind, struggling to differentiate in between dreams & reality due to lifelong misdiagnoses, non-treatment & unresolved trauma. I knew if I didn't get help, I wouldn't make it much longer. My delusions, paranoia, crippling anxiety & insomnia had essentially become so overwhelming I could no longer function. Kathie instantly recognized my desperate need for help & recommended a brain scan after not responding to a couple of medications I had been prescribed by my previous physician. Thanks to her genuine care & concern for my wellbeing, she was able to not only diagnose me correctly but more importantly, put me on the right medication right away. Within the first month I already saw noticeable differences. Looking back today, I can honestly say Kathie saved my life. Everything I was able to accomplish in these past 8 years, from being able to sleep without nightmares, to functioning on a daily basis, becoming sociable again & to forming lasting & healthy relationships, has been because of her. 12/10 highly recommend"
"Kathie has always been professional and calm/supportive while being able to think really critically about treatment might be needed. She’s also good at explaining things and carefully considering concerns, questions and health history. Definitely recommend."
"Doctor was a great communicator and I felt excited to work with this doctor in the future."
"Very pleased with services"
"Kathie is amazing. She has changed my world. It is so validating to have a brain map that shows me I don't have a character flaw, that I have a brain based disorder, that should be treated like any disorder, for example diabetes. She has found the right meds for me and I know my life is going to change once I start on the treatment."
"Good initial consult! Answered my questions and gave my followup information for treatment. Very helpful when moving back to Texas and needing to find a provider this month."
"Straight to the point and didn’t make me feel invalidated about my experiences. 10/10"
"Kathie Bolles has been so supportive to me over the past year I have been seeing her. She helped me to find the right medications, which have really changed my life. She always makes herself available and spends extra time to learn about me and the challenges I am experiencing. I am so grateful to her."
"Kathie is a great listener and will work with you to figure out the best solution to your problems. She is very matter of fact and will tell you like it is. She truly cares about her patients. She has helped me find the perfect combination of drugs to help me. I have been her patient for almost 4 years and while there have been some frustrations regarding internet platforms and receptionists/assistants, those have been resolved. Her current assistant Madison is fantastic. "
"Kathie saved my life. I was in and out of psychiatric care for almost 2 decades. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 in my early teens. I was inconsistent with my meds and developed an addiction to cocaine, to help me stay present and energy to get through the day. Kathie was the only person who identified that my addiction to cocaine was linked to my undiagnosed ADHD. Once Kathie started treating my ADHD and stabilizing my mood, my life did a 180. I felt like a human being, I could focus, be present, and the energy to function in life. It was like someone had finally turned the lights on in my head. I am extremely grateful that I have Kathie in my life. I don't know if I would still be here, if I didn't have her help."
"Kathie Bowles has helped me tremendously. I suffer from anxiety and it limited my ability to reach my full potential. We worked together trying to figure out the best meds for my situation. She had mentioned a brain wave analysis that might assist in finding the best medication for my brain. It took me awhile to conduct the test. Once I did and I tried the new medication and my life has changed dramatically. I am no longer crippled by fear. I am very thankful for Kathie and value her expertise."
"Kathie is amazing, I have been a patient for years and will continue to be! "
"Kathie is great! She listens to my concerns and problem solves to find a solution. "
"Kathie listens to what is concerning me then we talk about how to treat my concerns. She is caring and efficient. I look forward to our meetings and come away feeling very satisfied with the appointment. "
"Kathie is thorough and compassionate. My daughter and I have been her clients for a number of years now and have referred many people to her. She is experienced, and professional. She provides excellent care with a creative approach when needed. When regular treatments didn't work for me she kept trying different approaches until we found one that did. When I first brought my daughter to her, she was in crisis and resistant to any professional management of her mental health. With Kathie's coaching, care and treatment, I happy to say my daughter is flourishing and committed to staying on track with her mental health. I have watched my family grow and heal under her care. I am so grateful to her for bringing happiness and joy back into our lives."
"Kathie is amazingly responsive. She cares about her patients and is invested in their wellbeing. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family. "
"Kathie is a great listener, she's very personable, and she worked hard to find the best help for me. She was very thorough in asking about my history and symptoms before determining a path forward, and along the way has provided in-depth, careful check-ins to find what has worked and what hasn't. She has also provided very helpful counseling and referrals for other resources. "
"Kathie has really helped me feel like me again. She is kind and patient and doesn't give up even when it's tough."
"Dr. Bolles takes an integrated approach to mental health. One thing I really appreciate about her is how seriously she takes medication side effects. If there's any physical changes (weight gain, acne, etc.) she will recommend switching to another medication. She also offers gene tests and EEG's to pinpoint the right medications that work with your body, which eliminates/reduces the trial and error phase. Overall, I've really enjoyed my two years with her!"
"Kathie Bolles is incredible at adjusting her approach to meet the individual patients' needs. She is a good listener, attentive, and not afraid to suggest a solution that may sound unfamiliar at first. Through her careful explanation and guidance through every step in building a treatment regimen and re-tuning over the years, I am confident in her superior psychiatric care. "
"Kathie is attentive and on the ball when it comes to patient care. She and her team are highly responsive and quick to resolve any issues that may arise outside of the appointment time. Kathie is an excellent listener and asks meaningful questions in a way that feels compassionate and personal. She always goes out of her way to provide helpful tips and resources."
"Kathie is extremely helpful, empathetic, caring and diligent. I have worked with her for over a year now - I once thought I would never live a stable life, but collaborating with Kathie on my diagnosis and medication has shown me otherwise. I live a lovely and prosperous life, I truly could not have done it without her."
"Kathie is always quick to reply if I need something in between appointments. She's caring and professional. I've been seeing her for over five years now and I highly recommend. "
"Kathie is fabulous. She always listens to my needs or concerns, and we work as a team to determine best steps to better my mental health. I have been seeing her for about 5 years now, and I have never felt judged or pressured to do anything I'm not comfortable with (medications wise). She has been an amazing practitioner, and I have been doing so well since I have been able to start under her care. "
"She is great to talk with and also always there when needed."
"Dr. Bolles is a very good psychiatrist. I was hesitant to start psychiatric medication but she listened and provided resources that made me feel more comfortable when choosing a medication. She is very problem solving focused and is open to discussing different options. I recommend Dr. Bolles to many people in my life and I plan to see her for a very long time. "
"I love my visits with her! She always listens to you and is very understanding! "
"Kathie Bolles is extremely professional and caring about the health and well-being of her patients. In both the personal and virtual setting, I've found Kathie to be detailed, responsive, and thoughtful about her treatment of me as a patient and incredibly knowledgeable in her field of practice. I highly recommend her services and am extremely appreciative to be under her care."
"She is the best and most wonderful NP I have been able to work with compared to previous psychiatrists I had. Psychiatrists would just throw me on so many and too many med combos that just did not work for me. Mary (Kathie) really listened to me and was able to find me the right meds and the least amount of med combo. I am glad I found her because I am doing so much better than I ever have in such a long time. "
"She is always thorough and remembers what is going on in my life, too"
"I'd been seeing an LCDC counselor for a while and it was suggested that I VIP see Kathy. My anti-depressants were hit and miss for years. I thought it was seasonal all this time. After the first meeting, I was hopeful again. She put me on a different med and within a week I was turned around. She is a ROCKSTAR!!! In my eyes, anyhow. Thank you, Kathy, for your help. I will forever be in gratitude."
"I have happily been seeing Kathie for years now. I have developed a trusting relationship with her and feel safe and well cared for."
"I've been a patient of Kathie's since college, and I don't know where I would be without her help. From the moment we met, it was clear that she cared about her patients and their well-being above all else. I have ADHD, which is a difficult mental illness to treat, as there's still a lot about it that isn't understood. It's also a mental illness that isn't always treated with the most respect, even by psychiatrists or pharmicists. But Kathie has always stood up for me, listened to me, and advocated for me when I needed it. She has never once made me feel like an imposter or like my ADHD shouldn't be taken seriously. She's also personable and kind-hearted, and it shows in her interactions with her patients-- you can tell that she cares. I highly recommend Kathie if you're looking for a mental health practitioner in the Austin/Texas area!"
"Kathie has helped me immensely in all aspects of my life. I always feel that she hears my concerns and works with me to address them in a compassionate way."
"Prior to seeing Kathie, I felt terrible. I found her to be professional and knowledgeable. Also, it was apparent that she really cares about her patients. She was compassionate and listened to me, which is not always the case. My first visit went very well and I left hopeful that in working together, we would get me well. I can’t say enough about my experience with her and would recommend her to anyone who may need her help."
"I've been very happy with Kathie and would definitely recommend her!"
"Have been very happy with my service for over a year now. Easy to make appointment. Great care overall."
"I have been working with Kathie Bolles for over 4 years. She is attentive, responsive, and approachable. She is also thoughtful with your time - keeping lobby wait times short and using Telehealth consults when needed. Skilled in her area of expertise, Kathie eases conversations that would otherwise be challenging and continuously advances your progress as a patient. l would highly recommend her as a clinician."
