Kathryn Kirkwood, LPC
Licensed in: Oregon
As a counselor, my goal is to deeply understand my clients and collaborate with them to foster awareness, confidence, and resilience.
About Me
I create a non-judgmental environment, accompanying clients on their journey by offering validation, acknowledgement and education. I also work with client to explore inconsistencies in values and behaviors which sometimes means working towards accepting hard truths. I help clients explore their values, identify faulty belief systems, establish boundaries, and practice healthy coping skills. My inspiration to become a Licensed Professional Counselor stems from the belief that a supportive community is essential for navigating life’s challenges. Influenced by the work of Brene Brown and Ester Perel, I create a space where clients feel heard and understood, enabling them to explore and understand themselves for a more meaningful life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
