Therapy for adults with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and depression

Who I Am
I’m Katherine M Kilgore, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist in Folsom. For more than 30 years I have helped adults with OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression recognize and understand the underlying causes of their problems, and how to change things for the better.
I take an active, engaged approach. That means:
-
I help identify and organize what feels confusing
-
I point out patterns you may not see on your own
-
I connect present struggles to deeper underlying dynamics
At times, I’ll be direct - because avoiding the truth doesn’t help you move forward. But the goal will always be to help you understand yourself more clearly and respond differently in your life. If you’re considering therapy, you’re probably trying to understand something that hasn’t been easy to figure out on your own. It might be anxiety that keeps returning, depression that doesn’t lift, or patterns in relationships that repeat even when you try to change them.
Our work can lead you to begin to feel calmer, more confident, and be able to make decisions more easily. You can pinpoint the habits that no longer work and start making behavioral changes that make more sense and are more effective.
Many people come into therapy unsure of what to expect. You don’t need to prepare anything or have the “right words.” We start with
-
where you are
-
what’s been bothering you
-
what feels stuck or unresolved
-
what you’ve already tried
Over time, the picture becomes clearer. Problems that felt confusing begin to make more sense. Clarity creates room for real change.
Not everyone comes to therapy in crisis. Sometimes the reason is simpler: something in your life isn’t working the way it should. If that’s where you are, therapy can help you understand why - and what to do about it.
