Life can leave marks — especially when the systems meant to protect you became sources of harm. Many of my clients are survivors of childhood or adult trauma who are tired of just managing symptoms and ready for something deeper. In our work together, we slow down, get honest, and build something real: stability, self-trust, and a life that feels like yours again. I've walked my own healing path, and I bring that lived experience into the room. My approach is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental — and I'm not afraid of the hard conversations. You shouldn't have to be either.

So many of us often feel overwhelmed, anxious or sad. You are not alone! Good for you for taking the difficult first step toward a more fulfilling, fully engaged and functioning life. With over twenty-five years of experience I have found that real healing can take place in a calm, supportive space - one where you can slow down, hear yourself more clearly and explore your own inner voice with more clarity.

The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.

Have you been feeling lost? Like your life has no purpose? Depressed or anxious? Things can change for you, but what if I told you the change must start with YOU? Are you willing to take it to the next level? If so, counseling is one of the best ways to take a closer look at what is working in your life and what isn't. Are you ready for a change?

We all need a safe-space to express ourselves, to be seen, to be heard, and to be validated without any judgement. I am passionate about helping people and making them feel emotionally safe. People come to therapy for different reasons but I believe that people have a basic need of being listened to and not judged for how they feel or think. I am passionate about providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guide them to discover who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works well for their personal life and personality to achieve distinctive goals.

My name is Kari Ladrow, LCSW, CCM. I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, and compassion fatigue—especially those who give so much to others that they feel drained themselves. Together we focus on stress management, anxiety reduction, and building resilience so you can feel calmer, stronger, and more in control. In the first few sessions, you can expect a supportive space to explore what’s been weighing on you and begin developing practical tools for change. Inspired by the work of Brené Brown, I believe seeking support takes courage and I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves.

Life transitions can be difficult to manage and may bring up emotions, identity exploration, and new challenges. The main focus in my therapy sessions is to help my clients process, feel seen, and be heard. A therapy session with me is grounded in empathy, warmth, and understanding. I help people move from helplessness to action by building their confidence and resilience.

I am a veteran who has over 26 years of clinical experience, working with children and adults in a variety of settings. I have worked with adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, to include anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe a therapist should meet a client where they are at in life, and "walk" beside them in their journey! I can offer a non-judgmental setting where clients can feel safe to discuss any challenges they may be facing. You can also find me on SonderMind.

I enjoy working with children ages 10+, adolescents, and adults. My specialties include trauma, OCD, ADHD, neurodiversity, depression, anxiety, and working with the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients that I work with often have negative thoughts about feeling “different” and/ or inadequate. I take a non-judgemental approach to help you develop tools and techniques to embrace and work alongside your brain. My clients often feel like they aren't good enough, as a parent, a partner, a professional, or other roles they deeply value. I am passionate about helping clients rebuild their identity, self-worth, and autonomy.

Life feels overwhelming when your mind is racing, past experiences won’t let go, or anxiety makes every day exhausting. I support teens (14+) and adults navigating ADHD, ASD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Many clients come to me feeling misunderstood or “too much.” My approach is warm, grounding, and nonjudgmental, helping you slow down, make sense of your emotions, and build tools that truly fit your life. You don’t have to do this alone.

Have you ever asked yourself, why do I keep getting involved in unhealthy relationships? Or do you feel stuck and not sure how to move forward? It may be time to stop focusing on the problem and focus on the solution instead. In my process I help clients remember when they were in a good place. In our sessions we will utilize your strengths, resources and hopes to help you get to a good place again and have the ability to move forward in your life. If you are looking for a bias and judge-free space for you to express your emotions I can provide a safe place to talk.

I recognize that our mental health is complex and is impacted by all systems in which we live and operate. I therefore work hard to take a holistic approach to care and treatment.

It is my aim to provide a safe, empowering, and supportive environment that fosters your journey to a healthy head and heart. To achieve this, I use a variety of modalities and techniques including (but not limited to) CBT, mindfulness, art, and journaling.

I am in network with Aetna, TriWest, and Tricare West.
Insecurities can make us feel like there isn’t hope, but there is a path forward. Finding a counselor can be a difficult step, but once that first step is made, you’re on your way to living a more fulfilled life! My priority is to help you meet your goals and send you on your way, not to be your counselor for years on end. Anxiety, depression, bad relationships, and anger can be the source of distress, but I want to be able to show you that there are ways to alleviate the impact of these concerns.

We each possess - in our minds and bodies - a deep wisdom and when listened to, it can lead us to a life of greater peace and fulfillment. I am passionate about partnering with individuals seeking to find that wisdom and their own unique strengths that will allow them to make the changes they hope to see in their lives. Through learning to respond to our own emotional and physical needs, we can change how we interact with others and the world around us. While there is no way to eliminate painful circumstances from our past, within relationships there are opportunities for healing and reparative experiences.
