About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. Kay brings 11 years of clinical experience helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. They work in a respectful, person-centered way and aim to create space for each person to set their own goals.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation focused on practical next steps. Kay emphasizes listening first, then using tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. Trauma-informed methods are also part of the work when past harm affects current functioning.
Prior settings include private practice, residential care for adolescents, 7 Day Follow-up, and intensive outpatient programs within medical facilities. That range has shaped a flexible approach to challenges like mood disorders, addictions, sleep problems, and life transitions.
Sessions tend to focus on short, achievable changes such as shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, building daily routines, or strengthening decision-making. Kay also supports people exploring gender identity concerns and issues related to LGBT experience, as well as aging, loneliness, and life purpose.
They describe therapy as a collaborative process where clients lead and the counselor offers guidance, tools, and encouragement. Kay believes many people already know the direction they want to move in and benefit from a trusted partner to help make it happen.
