Meet Your Psychiatric Partner

Hi! My name is Kahesha (Kay-sha)! 

 

Neurodivergence isn't something I just learned about in school—it's part of my family's story, so, me too :) ADHD, autism, (AuDHD), anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or simply trying to navigate being human in this modern world—all are welcome here.

​

My approach is neurodivergent & gender-affirming, with no white coat energy! If a song pops into your head mid-sentence, let's sing together. We'll get to where we need to be without following the yellow brick road, no masking necessary.

​

Diagnoses are a guide to treatment, but they don't define us. I'm here to learn YOU, in all your uniqueness. No one fits into a box; we fit into our own body, and let's be honest, sometimes that feels odd too.

​

If you’re looking for a stoic clinician sitting behind a mahogany desk nodding silently while writing notes, you might be in the wrong place! At Apotheosis, we have zero "white coat energy" and welcome fairy dust and unicorn horns!

​

I created Apotheosis because I wanted a space where I could bring my whole self to work, and give my clients permission to do the exact same thing. As a parent to an autistic son, and someone living with my own neurodivergence, I know how exhausting it is to constantly mask, adapt, or fit yourself into a world that wasn't built for you- truly, is it built for many these days?

​

When you join a session with me, think of it less like a rigid doctor's visit and more like catching up with a friend over tea (with top-tier medical expertise built-in). We might end up on a quick side tangent, my cats will almost certainly crash the video frame, and if a random song pops into your head mid-sentence, we might just sing it together- no judgment, karaoke time.

​

How I Work & What Drives Me

  • Neurodiversity- & Gender-Affirming Care: Whether you’re navigating ADHD, autism (AuDHD), anxiety, or depression, diagnoses are just maps to help guide us—they don't define who you are. We’ll skip the pre-made boxes and focus on helping you feel at home in your own mind and body.

  • Modern & Integrative Approaches: Beyond standard medication management and supportive therapy, I am actively engaged in the evolving science of psychiatric care—including emerging and re-emerging evidence-based therapies like psychedelic-assisted medicine—to bring innovative, holistic options to our work together.

  • Come As You Are: Show up in your favorite hoodie, bring your fidgets, or take session calls wrapped in a blanket.

  • ​

When I’m not in session, you can usually find me listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl, meditating my brain waves into submission, cooking and sipping tea, or hanging out with my family and cats- or pretty much doing anything my little heart desires on that given day, c'est la vie!
