Kathleen Hoagland Counseling and Consulting LLC

Hello! My name is Kathleen Hoagland and I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and CAADC (Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor) with 14 years of experience in mental health and substance use disorder treatment. My #1 specialty is helping individuals with a history of trauma - and assisting folks in understanding that trauma can mean a lot of different things -- and trauma can look like depression, anxiety, and substance use or other addictive patterns. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse are traumas - but so are growing in a strict religious community, witnessing parents fight and argue, witnessing something that made you feel unsafe, and the list goes on an on. Many of us deal and cope with trauma by developing a list of behaviors or skills that helped us tremendously in learning how to survive and function despite the trauma we experienced. At some point, many of those behaviors may no longer help us and in fact -- actually prevent us from reaching the goals we want to reach or becoming the person we want to become. The good news is that I can help you learn how to identify those unhelpful behaviors, understand why they are so important, and develop new behaviors necessary for us to be who we really want to be, and feel how we really want to feel.
