Kate Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC/A)
As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, Kate is focused on helping individuals with ADHD, anxiety, or depression.
In her words, “if you have ADHD, you have likely been given advice that starts with “why don’t you just”, followed by something incredibly unhelpful like “focusing more” or
“stay organized”.
Your life has likely been filled with suggestions, criticism, and frustration for not meeting expectations.
She understands having ADHD could mean you’ve heard more negative things about yourself, which can lead to issues with self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
Kate is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with an additional master’s degree in Family & Child Studies.
She believes having ADHD does not mean you are broken or unloveable. You are just as valid, valuable, and worthy as any other person walking this earth, and together we will learn how to navigate this world.
