Private. Personal. precise.
Clinical engagement tiers and Advisory solutions
Four ways to work with KHKN Group. Different needs, different levels of investment, one standard.
What working together looks like, step by step.
The real work begins with one quiet recognition: you have done the reading, you understand the pattern, and you still cannot access what you know when the moment actually arrives. That is the signal. That is where this practice meets you.
What changes for you when the pattern actually moves.
You stop bracing for the next conversation with your adult child because you have language for the one you keep having.
What changes for you when the pattern actually moves.
You stop carrying your sibling's silence into your marriage because the work has separated the two relationships.
What changes for you when the pattern actually moves.
You sleep on a Sunday night without the dread of Monday because you can name what is actually happening at home, and you have somewhere to bring it.
What you will not find here, and why that matters.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE
Privacy as a structural choice.
Sessions built for the nervous system. Ninety to 120 minutes, drawn from the Erickson clinical tradition. Sessions long enough for what actually needs to surface.
A clinician who coaches with 50+ years of lived relational experience. Licensed Professional Counselor. Former Supervisory Federal Law Enforcement Officer. Mana Wahine (a Hawaiian woman) rooted in pilina (deep relational connection), pono (righteousness, integrity and balance), and aloha (relating to others with love and respect, kindness, and empathy).
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Why no insurance?
Insurance covers therapy only when a diagnosis establishes “medical necessity.” That diagnosis becomes part of your permanent health record, and your insurer then decides how many sessions you get and what treatment qualifies. Private pay keeps your care private and in your hands. Nothing goes to a third party, which matters for professionals with security clearances, licensing boards, or leadership roles. Treatment follows your goals, with no session caps, preauthorizations, or billing-code limits. *I accept a small number of Aetna and Medicare clients. Those spots are limited, so schedule an introductory call to ask about availability.
What is the difference between a therapist, clinician, counselor, and coach?
These words get used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same. Coach: Helps you set goals and build a strategy forward. No license is required, and coaches don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Counselor: Helps with specific life challenges through guidance and coping tools. The work is often shorter-term and goal-directed. Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) hold a formal credential. Therapist: A broad term for anyone who provides talk-based mental health treatment. On its own, it doesn’t signal a specific license. Clinician: The most formal of the four. A licensed professional who assesses, diagnoses, and treats, with the emphasis on clinical depth rather than conversation or encouragement.
Where Kathie fits: Most providers fit one of these categories. Kathie covers all four. She is licensed in two states, as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada, and she pairs that clinical depth with a coach’s focus on strategy and momentum. Her work reaches the patterns underneath, not just the coping tools on top, and then builds the plan to move past them.
Why are sessions ninety minutes, not fifty?
The 50-minute session is a scheduling and insurance-billing convention, not a clinical standard. Most practices default to 50 minutes because insurance billing codes cap the session time a clinician can bill and reasonably expect the claim to be approved and paid. Kathie doesn’t, because breakthroughs need deep, uninterrupted focus. The 90-minute format draws on the work of psychiatrist Milton H. Erickson, known for extended sessions, and psychobiologist Ernest Rossi, who studied ultradian rhythms: the natural 90-to-120-minute cycles of focus and recovery the brain moves through during the day. A longer session matches that cycle. You have time to settle in, lower your guard, reach the real issue, and leave with a plan instead of stopping mid-thought.
For high performers, it’s the better return on your time: fewer sessions spent warming up and more spent doing the work.
Do you see federal employees and clearance holders?
Absolutely. The foundational privacy structure of KHKN Group exists specifically because Kathie understands the high professional stakes her clients face. As a former Supervisory Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Kathie knows exactly how an exposed mental health record can jeopardize a background investigation, a security clearance renewal, or a fitness-for-duty evaluation. KHKN Group provides elite, ultra-discreet care tailored for: Law Enforcement & Intel, Corporate Leadership, Licensed Professionals, High-Profile Individuals, and their loved ones. Your privacy is not just a policy here; it is the core architecture of how Kathie operates.
