ANXIETY, GRIEF, AND ADHD THERAPY FOR ADULT WOMEN IN COLORADO + VIRGINIA

Therapy for all the parts you’re quietly carrying.


I’m part of a larger practice, so search “Kate Willecke” in the scheduler to find my calendar. Choose the free 15-minute consult and pick a time that works. Any trouble? Email me at hello@brightconnectionscounseling.com.

I’m so glad you’re here.

You remember every birthday and answer every text. You say “I’m fine” on autopilot. Meanwhile, the smallest inconvenience makes you want to run away, and you’re not sure why. Maybe you’ve typed “do I have ADHD?” into a search bar at 11 p.m. Maybe you’ve just realized how far under water you feel.

Hi, I’m Kate. I’m an LCSW and certified EMDR clinician, and I get it because I’m an anxious people pleaser with ADHD myself. I was diagnosed at 31, after my second child was born, and a lot of my life suddenly made sense.

In our work, we skip the surface-level check-ins. I draw on IFS, EMDR, and attachment-based therapy to get curious about what’s underneath the overthinking, at a pace that doesn’t flood you. You won’t be doing it alone.

What changes? You build trust in yourself and a relationship with yourself rooted in understanding instead of shame. You slow down. Your relationships start to feel mutual instead of draining.

Invest in feeling like yourself again.

Start with a free 15-minute consult call. We’ll talk about what’s going on, whether we’re a good fit, and how fees and scheduling would work. No prep and no decisions required. This is therapy that feels like an exhale, not another task. Let’s start here. 🤍

My Mission as A Therapist:

I support deeply feeling women struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing, and ADHD reclaim trust in themselves and a sense of self that isn’t built on keeping everyone else okay.
