Hello! Thank you for your interest in exploring improving your quality of life! A little bit about myself, I have been a practicing clinician for over 9 years, now. I have a great deal of experience and enjoy helping individuals face their addictions and other co-occurring issues. While I have many years of experience in working with addiction and mental health, I have personal experience as well. I am definitely able to empathize with many struggles, across the board. I am also not fully, but intermediately bilingual. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you! If my bookings are full, please send me a private message, I may still have openings.

Therapist

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Therapist

I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with a real person. I’m warm and compassionate, but I’m also honest and direct—I won’t judge you, but I won’t simply tell you what you want to hear, either. I’ll laugh with you, ask the questions that may be uncomfortable, and challenge you when I believe it could help. I care about my clients and genuinely love this work. You can expect me to be present, engaged, ethical, and respectful of your boundaries while creating a space where you can be fully yourself.

Kathleen McCauley

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I also support individuals navigating PTSD, life transitions, coping skills, self esteem, chronic stress, and patterns that feel hard to break. I’ve spent years working in crisis intervention and psychiatric treatment settings, supporting adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

If you’re struggling with low self-esteem, emotional numbness, relationship patterns that aren’t serving you, or a sense of “I should be okay, but I’m not” — you’re not alone. I deeply believe change is possible, and that healing becomes easier when you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
