Working With Me
My work is guided by the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding who you are and what matters most to you. Whether through therapy or assessment, I aim to create a collaborative, supportive space where your goals lead the process. I rely on research-based methods as the foundation of my work, but I also draw from a broad range of psychological frameworks and experiential tools to meet each individual’s unique needs.
Who I Work With
For therapy and assessments, I work with adolescents age 16+ as well as adults. While I often conduct joint sessions with the spouses or family members of my clients when requested, I am primarily focused on brief- or long-term individual care.
Historically, I have worked with a range of populations, including veterans, individuals living with chronic and life-limiting medical conditions and their caregivers, members of the LGBTQ+ community, career professionals, and college/graduate students navigating life transitions.

A NJ native (though few would guess it or can hear it in my voice), I have spent the last 15 years moving around the Southeast. Most of that time was spent growing and pursuing an education in my field, and luckily, I have enjoyed every bit of it! When I am not working, you can find me playing beach volleyball, planning trips with my wife and newborn daughter, or dividing my attention between my 2 cats and 2 dogs. I also love tabletop board games (the ones that take 5 hours, half of which is an explanation), learning about markets and macroeconomics, hiking, meditating, and trivia nights.
If you are interested in receiving clinical supervision or consultation, email me at Kchichester@alpspsych.com
I reserve a number of therapy and assessment openings for clients who need financial flexibility. Rates are determined collaboratively based on income and current circumstances. In our initial consultation, we’ll discuss options to ensure that therapy remains accessible while supporting continuity of care.
