About Us- The Unconventional Therapists

We’re not your typical therapy practice. (And that’s the point.)

Our Philosophy

At The Unconventional Therapists, we believe healing doesn’t have to feel like homework, lectures, or sugar-coated positivity.

We’re a team of clinicians who share one mission:
👉 real talk, trauma-informed care, and burnout recovery for people who are over the bullshit.

Some of us specialize in working with helping professionals who are exhausted and questioning everything. Others love working with creative, neurodivergent, or trauma-survivor clients who want therapy that actually feels human. Together, we cover a wide spectrum — but our common ground is compassion, authenticity, and a little bit of sarcasm when you need it.

What Makes Us Different

No cookie-cutter therapy. Every clinician has their own style, but all of us value being real over being “clinical robots.”
Trauma-informed, always. Whether you’ve been through hell, are in the middle of chaos, or just trying to keep your head above water — we get it.
Specialties across the team. Anxiety, trauma, burnout, leadership coaching, identity, motherhood, neurodivergence — you’ll find a clinician who fits.
Unapologetically human. We’re not afraid to sit with the dark stuff, laugh at the absurdity, or call out toxic positivity when we see it.

Meet the Crew

Kate Ecke, LCSW She/hers

Owner & Clinical Director

Hi, I’m Kate.

I help people who are tired of pretending they’re fine — whether it’s from trauma, toxic workplaces, or carrying the weight of being “the strong one.”

My clients are often helpers themselves: therapists, social workers, teachers, nurses, and nonprofit leaders who give everything away and are running on fumes. Or they’re everyday humans who hate therapy-speak but know something has to change.

Here, therapy is real talk with compassion and sarcasm. We cut through the bullshit, sit with the hard stuff, and use tools that actually fit your life. No toxic positivity. No “just journal about it” unless you want to.

If you’re exhausted, over it, and craving something different — welcome home.

What I Offer

Therapy for Trauma & Life Chaos
Real talk, trauma-informed therapy for people who hate sugar-coated clichés.
Burnout Recovery for Helping Professionals
Therapy + coaching hybrid to help helpers heal, set boundaries, and keep their spark without burning out.
Leadership Coaching (That Doesn’t Suck)
For nonprofit directors, healthcare leaders, and administrators who secretly want to quit. Build resilience, rediscover purpose, and stop drowning.

You don’t need to hold it all together anymore.
