About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. Kay uses a respectful, person-centered stance and aims to create an accepting space where clients set the pace and goals. Conversations are direct and practical, with an emphasis on small, doable steps toward feeling better.
Kay holds a Master of Science in Counseling from Missouri State University and a Bachelor of Science with studies in philosophy, religion, and psychology from College of the Ozarks. Over 11 years of work in mental health settings have included office-based practice, residential care, and intensive outpatient services. This range has shaped a flexible style that adapts to what each person needs.
Sessions blend Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix means clients are listened to first, then offered practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of the approach for people dealing with past harm.
Kay describes therapy as a collaborative process. The therapist helps people name goals, test new behaviors, and notice what works. Expect straightforward guidance, encouragement, and gentle challenge when needed.
People often come for help with relationships, grief, addiction struggles, anger, sleep problems, life transitions, and issues tied to gender and identity. Kay also supports those working through feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, or isolation. The focus is on practical change and growing self-compassion over time.
