Patient Reviews

"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 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 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 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 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. "

"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!"
