Kate von Achen LSCSW, ADHD-CCSP

Hello! I’m Kate, a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, offering telehealth services for adults located in Kansas, so support is just a click away—wherever you are (in the state). My style is collaborative, compassionate, and down-to-earth—with a dose of humor and realness to keep it human. I want to provide a space for you to show up exactly as you are. Life can throw some serious curveballs—ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or just feeling lost in a major life transition. I specialize in working with adults of all identities navigating these challenges, helping them build insight, resilience, and real, lasting change by taking a holistic and eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, CPT, IFS, mindfulness-based techniques, somatic work, behavioral activation, solution-focused strategies, and a strengths-based, person-centered lens. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all—we’ll tailor our work (and any therapy "homework") to fit your goals, needs, and interests, rather than rigid protocols (aside from when this is necessary). In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on identifying the specific challenges you’re facing, exploring your goals for therapy, and discussing any past therapy experiences (if applicable). Building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is central to our work together. I’m passionate about this work because I know firsthand how transformative therapy can be. If you are ready to commit to therapy or are considering taking this step but have questions first, please reach out and we can explore how I might be of support in your mental health journey. ***Please note: I utilize Headway for all billing (both self-pay and insurance).
