Psychotherapy for adults who want

real change​

​

Therapy for OCD and anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Over 30 years in private practice. I offer direct, practical therapy built around your goals, not an insurance company's rules.

​

Emptiness and agitation are real. Obsessive thoughts and behaviors don't easily stop.

Chasing every thought takes so much time. 

 

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Something is not going right. You feel lost, overwhelmed, frightened, and alone because what you currently know how to do is no longer effective. You are not feeling heard and understood.

My approach is straightforward, practical, and honest. I’ll tell you the truth directly, even when it’s not easy to hear, because real change depends on clarity. 

Together, we’ll look at:

  • what you’re experiencing right now and see your situation more clearly

  • how those patterns began and understand the “why” behind your thoughts and reactions

  • recognize habits you may not have been able to see on your own and how they’re affecting your life and relationships

  • what needs to change so things can start to be different

​This is not just talking - it’s about understanding your choices and they affect your life. Therapy is where you can work with someone who is paying close attention, who understands the process, and who will help you stay focused on your values and needs. 

 

I also work with trauma, addictions, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders and various other difficult issues. If I can’t help, or am not a good fit for you, let me help you find the right person to help.

“I would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to Dr. Kilgore”

Psychologist in Folsom, CA

“I have worked in close proximity to Dr. Kilgore for over 20 years. In that time, we have shared mentoring doctoral students, teaching/leading group supervisions, attending consultation groups and trainings with other mental health professionals, and seeing clients together and in conjunction.  I know her heart and mind, and have seen firsthand the dedication she brings to her work every day. Her knowledge is extensive, but more importantly, her humanity and the way in which it informs her interactions with each individual she encounters is breathtaking. I would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to Dr. Kilgore for treatment – she’s that good.”
