Kathleen Hove, LCSW, CSW

Kathleen Hove, LCSW and CSW, brings nearly ten years of experience in mental health to her practice. LCSW indicates a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes a clinical social work credential, both reflecting formal training and professional practice. She frames therapy as an opportunity to connect with another person who understands suffering and can help identify pathways through it.

Kathleen has worked with adults, children, and families across a range of emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges. She has a particular focus on fear-based symptoms such as anxiety and trauma, and she favors evidence-based interventions that are tailored to each individual. Her goal is to help people rebuild a sense of safety within themselves and their environments when that feeling has been diminished or lost.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental stance, empathy, and compassion, with a warm and occasionally playful sense of humor when appropriate. Kathleen practices collaboratively, honoring the client as the expert on their own life and partnering to guide the therapeutic process. She aims to support clients in bridging the gap between where they are now and where they want to be.
