Hello! My name is Kathleen Walker, a Licensed Professional Counselor. In my thirties, I decided to change careers and began my work in the Mental Health field. During the last ten years of education and practice, my love for this work has grown exponentially. I have a deep respect for people who are attempting to work towards bettering their lives, no matter where they are in that process. So much of my experience involves working with those who are fighting addiction and impulse issues. I have also worked alongside individuals with histories of trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and much more.
I believe in using evidence based approaches and techniques that most speak to the individual I am working with – in other words, I believe in meeting people where they are in their lives right now.
Whether you are battling addiction or depression or simply wanting support in a life change, I look forward to sharing in your journey toward meeting your goals!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Walker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kathleen is the best! I cannot express enough gratitude for what she has done for me mentally. Even when I think I have nothing to say during a session she really does a great job with having the conversation flow productively. Every conversation I have with her she leaves me with a new perspective and feeling positive that I can make the changes I want to. If Kathleen had a podcast I would make everyone listen to it, I think she is that wonderful and insightful!

Kathleen is the best! I have had 3 sessions with her and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She gives me “homework” to keep me on track throughout the week and always checks in on me in between sessions. She has already helped me so much!
