Zach graduated with his masters degree in marriage and family therapy in  April of 2020. For his theoretical approach, he leans into CBT and  talking about differentiation of self in relationships. He is a fan of  all things sports and could talk all day about football, baseball basketball, and hockey.  He has been at CAC since November of 2019 and has enjoyed the community   and opportunities that CAC has provided! He is excited to advocate for  the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health of his peers in this new position as an ambassador. 

Michele Kitney is an east coast individual that finally found her way to Texas! She graduated from Andrews University with her B.S. in Medical Laboratory Science, and she is just two semesters shy of graduating with a Masters in Counseling from Southwestern Adventist University. Currently, she is a pre-grad intern on the LPC track at CAC, and enjoys working with a variety of individuals that are struggling with various challenges. Michele deeply believes in CAC’s mission to offer high quality therapy at a low cost. She is honored to join the team of Ambassadors here at CAC. This team has shown an interest in supporting the interns at CAC while promoting and advocating this practice to the Austin community; marketing and peer mentoring will be her main focus. When Michele isn’t seeing clients, she enjoys spending time with her family, playing board games, cooking or baking something delicious, or spending time with her friends drinking coffee together somewhere! Michele looks forward to meeting you and quite possibly working with you too!
