A Different Approach
At K.A.D. Counseling, we understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Our clinicians offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Grounded in neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and liberation-focused frameworks, we tailor care to meet each client where they are.
What Makes us Different
- Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy: Our clinicians are trained to support ADHD, autism, and sensory needs with strategies that reject pathology and center empowerment.
- Non-Adherent DBT: We use an adapted version of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focused on validation, flexibility, and client collaboration, particularly for neurodivergent clients.
- Psychoeducation as Empowerment: We use education as a tool for agency, integrating resources, handouts, and skill-building into every session.
- Cannabis-Positive and Substance-Informed Care: We take a harm-reduction, non-shaming approach to working with substance use, including medical and recreational cannabis.
- Deep Self-Disclosure and Relational Transparency: We believe that authenticity from your therapist can be healing in itself.
