I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering support for families, adolescents and adults.

I'm glad you're here. My name is Kathleen. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University. I have worked in various environments and disciplines ranging from private practice to working within an emergency room.

Life can be a lot. Between juggling work, friends and family life, anxiety and sadness can sneak up on you. Therapy isn’t about lying on a couch while someone silently nods, it’s about having a real convo with someone who gets it. Together, we’ll work together out how to quiet the noise, boost your mental health, and build habits that make life feel less like survival mode and more like you actually living it. Life throws curveballs — and when we don’t fully process them, they can sneakily pile up as stress, anxiety, or that heavy feeling you just can’t shake. That’s where therapy comes in.
My mission is simple: create a space where you can express yourself, shake off the weight you’ve been carrying, and explore who you’ve been, who you are, and who you want to become. A safe zone for real talk and growth. EMDR (a way of helping your brain re-file old memories so they don’t keep hitting the panic button), systems theory, person centered theory.
Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch in awkward silence. It’s modern, collaborative, sometimes even a little fun — because growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m open-minded yet structured and here to make the process feel less like a chore and more like a genuine reset.
For insurances I do not accept: Out of network provider: 4 questions to ask insurance representative: Does your plan include "out-of-network" coverage for mental health? What is your annual deductible for mental health benefits? What is your co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?) Is there a limit on sessions?
My passion is helping women heal the parts of themselves that are keeping them from being truly happy through a trauma-informed lens. I believe we all have everything we need inside ourselves, and with guidance and support, we can uncover our true power and live the life we desire.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of advance psychiatric practice and a total of 15 years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in evidence-based care for adults living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions, combining thoughtful medication management with practical strategies that help clients build a deeper understanding of their mental health.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman's Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that lasting mental health is rooted in lifestyle, resilience, and whole-person well-being. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and active partners in their own care.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience. I have a Doctorate in Social Work.

Anything is possible, sometimes we just need help to get things jump-started.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in West Hartford
Searching for therapists in West Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling in West Hartford. A therapist’s profile can also show what their sessions are like and whether their style fits how you prefer to communicate.
West Hartford has local options across areas like Blue Back Square, Elmwood, and nearby Hartford, but appointment times and specialty fit may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond offices close to home while still keeping care with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your schedule, provides in-person or virtual sessions, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare approach, experience, and communication style in one place.
Therapy in West Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in West Hartford, review profiles, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
