📢 Now Accepting New Clients – You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone 💙

If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or stress, I see you. Maybe your thoughts feel overwhelming, motivation is hard to find, or you’re constantly second-guessing yourself. Perhaps you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community and looking for a safe, affirming space to process identity, relationships, or the challenges of being your authentic self.

Whatever brought you here, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space to unpack the stress, self-doubt, and emotional weight you’ve been carrying—and to build tools to navigate life with more confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

I currently have openings for [virtual/in-person] sessions in [your state]. If you or someone you know could use support, I’d love to connect. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and valued. 💙

Your mental health matters—you deserve support. 💙

February is a short, cold month; and it may feel like its saying: Stay inside, put off change, hide from life.

-But this is where is can begin; walk now - for a summer closer then you think. Make new friends - for the spring around the corner, bringing you and them new life! -and when you stay in, cuddle, to remember the warmth and love, all year around.

Happy February! Happy almost Valentines Day! Do you celebrate with a partner(s), friends, family? Relationships can be tough, but the need for support is real. A few tips:
1. Find things that empower you and make you happy, without others. Not for all the time, just for sometimes.
2. Don't beat your self up, be your own friend and support.
3. Use assertive communication and give things and people healthy time and space.
4. Love, with healthy boundaries and not losing yourself.

Hope you all get to enjoy some love this Friday! 😊💟

New week and Happy New Year!! We're 12 days in. Anyone working on New Year's goals or resolutions? Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves, with the inertia of the new year and then burnout. So it can be helpful, if you find this happening, to be realistic and reset for steps towards goals that are not too much. Don't beat yourself up; that just leads to feeling worse, less motivation and possibly unhealthy coping. Give yourself some grace and take a step back, to see what the next, best, real step is. Need more help? Feel free to comment or message me, to plan an apt or free consultation!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

My name is Kathryn Clavin-Vunkannon LCSW, the owner and Social Worker, of Conquering Challenges with Kathryn LLC.

Are you feeling weighed down by stress, self-doubt, or unfulfilling relationships that make you question your worth? If you’re a teen or adult struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or the pressure to please others while feeling disconnected and lost, you’re not alone. It’s exhausting to carry the burden of isolation, depression, and uncertainty, but there’s hope for change. Imagine transforming that hope into action and uncovering your inner strengths to build genuine connections and a sense of belonging. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and relationship issues through a compassionate approach that fosters self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. Together, we can create a path toward confidence, clarity, and lasting change. Take the first step—call or email to schedule a consultation and begin the journey to a more peaceful, connected life. You don’t have to face this alone; let’s work together to build the life you deserve.

I am taking immediate appointments for free consultations, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9-5, 9-5 and 9-4. I accept most major insurances and self-pay or out of network.

Give me a call or a text, to schedule today and make 2025 your year of mental health!
