Find a Therapist, Live the Life You Want
You’d love to have more confidence when you walk into a room.
You want to look in the mirror and love who's looking back at you.
You'd love to feel known for who you really are when your spark is shining brightly.
You want to feel like you’ve got some control over your life. As though you can know who you are, where you are going, and have confidence that you can get there.
Become More Confidently You
We all do human differently; therapy helps you figure out how to do it in a way that actually works for you.
We use questions to examine your life in great depth and identify the parts that aren’t working for you.
We look closely at who you are and what’s going on in your life so that we can figure out how to help you move forward in a way that is authentic to you.
Therapy helps you create both the life and relationships that you want by helping you develop new skills and behaviors. This can allow you to share yourself more easily and comfortably.
We also help you to see yourself from a different perspective so that you can appreciate the good parts of yourself that you might be struggling with now.
Individual Therapy is More Than Coping Skills
Instead of just "rearranging the furniture in your house,", we completely remodel, starting with the foundation.
We look deeply at what your life is like now and get to the heart of what isn’t working and why. We begin at the very deepest level and work our way up.
When we’re done, you'll be the same person, just feeling better about who you are and how life is going.
Over the 30 years that I have been in practice, I’ve developed a method that my clients have found quite helpful. It involves investigation, education, and training.
Investigation
We explore your life and what is and isn’t working.
Education
I provide education on what is going on and behaviors that will and won’t improve your situation.
Training
We work together to help you apply the skills and changes you’ve decided to make to your life.

“I would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to Dr. Kilgore”
Dr. Jenifer Jacobs
Psychologist in Folsom, CA
“I have worked in close proximity to Dr. Kilgore for over 20 years... Her knowledge is extensive, but more importantly, her humanity and the way in which it informs her interactions with each individual she encounters is breathtaking. I would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to Dr. Kilgore for treatment – she’s that good.”
Christopher Taylor
Teen Therapist in Folsom, CA
“Dr. Kilgore is an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful psychologist. Her kind, calm presence combined with a clear, direct approach creates a space where real progress happens. She has a rare ability to understand complex situations quickly while offering practical, grounded guidance. I highly respect her clinical skill and integrity.”
Went to Dr. K for many many years. She helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. She gave me direction and all the tools that I needed to move on from an abusive relationship and to get my life back together again. I highly recommend her. She’s very straightforward while also being compassionate.
Dr. Kilgore has been the best part of the hardest part of my journey. She has helped me break off the chains that have kept me bound for so long. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Kilgore is a wonderful professional. I have known her for 15 years and counting. She has a direct, practical, straightforward style that is refreshing.
Meet Your Individual Therapist
Hi, I’m Dr. Katherine Kilgore.
I’ve been a practicing psychologist since 1995, helping people who are uncomfortable with their lives get to a place where they feel confident.
I’ve been described as gentle, yet someone you can trust to tell you the hard truth when you need to hear it.
I’m not going to tip-toe around what is going on if it will help you improve your life.
Together, we'll build a life you absolutely love to live.
Therapy Near Me FAQ’s
How do I know if I need therapy?
One sign that you might need therapy is that you have tried on your own without any or very little change. Or if you're searching for individual therapy near me. Therapy can also be helpful if you know what you need to do but are struggling to put it into practice.
How often will we meet?
I start by meeting with my clients weekly, and, as time goes on, we might meet less frequently.
How long does it take for therapy to work?
For many clients, the act of going to therapy near me and telling someone what is going on provides a certain level of relief. After that initial improvement, you will slowly notice changes in how you engage in the world and feel as we go deeper and address what needs to change.
What is therapy like?
Usually, during our sessions, I will ask you questions that you will then answer. These questions are designed to help you see yourself and your life from a different perspective. As time goes on, this new way of thinking will happen more automatically.
Therapy can be a lot of emotional work and can involve looking at some hard realities.
But this is often like the soreness that comes with working out. It hurts a little, but over the long run, you know it’s a good sign.
I am always present with you so that you aren’t alone when facing the uncomfortable emotions.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?
A lot of the success that people have in therapy is about the fit that they have with their therapist. This means seeing just any therapist isn’t necessarily going to be helpful.
The therapy provider you're working with needs to be a good fit for your personality but also their approach needs to be a good fit for you.
So if you’ve tried therapy before and don’t feel like it worked, it’s worth trying again.
Is what I tell you private?
Yes, what we discuss in our sessions is confidential, with a few exceptions, such as if you or someone else is in danger.
Will my insurance cover therapy?
Dr. Kilgore takes Aetna, Triwest, Tricare, and Medicare only. If you aren’t covered by one of these insurance panels, your insurance may not cover any of our work together, or they may only cover a small portion.
What’s the atmosphere like during sessions?
The atmosphere in therapy with me is one of safety and acceptance. My job is to get to know you on a deep level so I can help you create the life that you want. When I ask questions, it is to ensure that I understand you and your life.
Will therapy really help?
For many people, just speaking out loud the thoughts and feelings that are going through their head is a huge relief. My clients find that the work we do after that initial stage helps get them closer to the life they want.
