About Kathleen
I obtained my M.A. in Clinical Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2008, and my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago in 2006. In 2011, I officially acquired my professional license as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois (License #: 180.007897). In addition to clinical private practice psychotherapy, I have experience in many different facets of mental health care and have provided professional clinical consultation, clinical assessment, as well as psychoeducational information/talks/presentations to schools, community mental health centers, and non-profit organizations in Chicago and beyond. I continue to utilize these skills and experiences to enhance my ability to provide the best mental health care possible to my community as well as further normalize the process of reaching out for support and treatment for achieving and maintaining mental, emotional, & behavioral wellness.
Credentials:
Bachelor of Science in Psychology, awarded August 2006
Master in Clinical Counseling, awarded August 2008
LPC Licensed in Illinois in 2008
LCPC Licensed in Illinois since 2011
I find that both the therapist & the client need a safe space to collaborate & engage in real, natural conversation for therapy to truly begin. I believe it is in these moments that we begin to see a useful, meaningful relationship emerge. Once that relationship is established, energy, motivation, & positive change inevitably blossoms. In our work together, I will make it my mission to challenge you to learn more about your self, your relational patterns, as well your true goals and motivations (in essence, finding and embracing what you truly love). Speaking of great loves…
I’m passionate about using books, journals, art, music, poetry, podcasts, blogs, vlogs, videos, memes, cartoons, comics, video games (and just about any other sensory medium you can think of) as a way to tap into a more expansive and vibrant sense of self & enhance personal well-being through relatability/connection (It doesn’t hurt that these are also fairly accessible and affordable self-soothing tools!). For more examples of this, check out… How to Therapy?
Are we hiring therapists? Yes we are!
KP Therapy offers a unique opportunity for both aspiring clinicians working toward their LPCs or LCPCs as well as seasoned clinicians looking to practice independently. We provide connection to appropriate clinical referrals, as well as individual &/or group supervision & training. As independent clinicians work out of the same office, there is an opportunity to grow your clinical skills, cultivate a myriad of holistic approaches, and explore other creative interventions that will serve to enhance your confidence and satisfaction in working with your clients.
We prioritize candidates who are seeking supervision and clinical consultation and have a desire to work with flexibility - partly in office & partly virtually, from home. We have both part-time or full-time W2 roles available. Both offer competitive compensation, flexible schedules, training & supervision as needed and clinical consulation, as well as CEU opportunities.
