Life can often present challenges that feel overwhelming and unsettling, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I specialize in supporting individuals and families who are ready to embrace change and seek the guidance and support necessary to achieve their goals. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, trauma, or struggles related to abuse, I use both evidence-based practices and a holistic approach to wellness to foster a safe space for healing. I see it as an honor to work with clients to address not just their emotional well-being, but also how their personal and family dynamics contribute to their overall growth. By focusing on all aspects of life, we can create a path toward meaningful change, personal development, and lasting transformation.

Kasey Anderson
Clinical Therapist
Hey there! Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t easy, and I want you to know—I see you. Living with ADHD (and everything that comes with it—anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt) can feel like running a race with no finish line. But you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD who struggle with focus, motivation, emotional regulation, and self-worth. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and practical. Together, we’ll build strategies that actually work for you—whether that means tackling procrastination, managing relationships, or quieting that inner critic. I have a background in social work (Morehead State University & University of Kentucky) and experience with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, trauma, and more. But more importantly, I’m here to offer a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about learning to work with your brain, not against it. Let’s navigate this together. I look forward to meeting you!
