Welcome to Onward, Katia Kerkhoff!

Preferred Population: 6+ , autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental disabilities, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, parent-child conflict, behavioral challenges, relationship stressors, and life transitions.

Coping “go-to:” Turning up the music, singing like no one’s watching in the car, and finding unexpected peace in folding laundry—especially sorting socks. 😊 There’s something surprisingly soothing about bringing a little order to the chaos, one perfectly matched pair at a time.

Favorite thing about Onward: My favorite part about Onward is the warmth and comfort of the space—it truly feels like a place made for healing. The environment is welcoming and calm, which makes a big difference for both clients and clinicians. I also really value the support from my coworkers- we encourage and uplift one another in meaningful ways. And the autonomy I have in my work allows me to be creative and client-centered every day.

Coffee Order: Blended Smores Mocha from Bear Paw!

Office Quirk: I set multiple alarms on my phone like I’m coordinating a space launch, then immediately walk away from my desk like my work here is done. This usually results in a confused coworker turning off my alarm and sending me a message like, “Hey, your 2:15 meeting just went off… without you.”
