About Us

Kate Ledoux

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Headshot of Kate Ledoux, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor at Summit Counseling in Amherst, NH

I am an Integrative Mental Health Counselor, Certified Sound Healer, and Wild Woman Project Circle Leader, dedicated to guiding others on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. Rooted in a deep connection to nature and the wisdom of the body, my work blends mind, body, and spirit through a unique integration of therapy, coaching, sound healing, and sacred circles.
With years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I create a safe, compassionate space for healing at every stage of life. My therapy practice incorporates EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help clients process trauma, manage anxiety, and cultivate self-awareness. I have a deep passion for supporting young people as they navigate life’s transitions, emotions, and challenges, empowering them to build resilience and confidence.

I am always dedicated to guiding others on their journey toward healing and self-

discovery. Rooted in a deep connection to nature and the wisdom of the body, my work blends mind, body, and spirit through a unique integration of therapy, coaching, sound healing, and sacred circles.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Boston University and have served in leadership and clinical roles at Nashua Children’s Home and Souhegan High School. I believe every challenge offers an opportunity for growth—and what I find most rewarding is watching clients surprise themselves with how far they can go when they feel safe, supported, and seen.
I use a range of techniques—cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed care—grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. My specialties include depression, anxiety, substance use, parent-child conflict, life transitions, school challenges, and support for LGBTQ+ youth and families.
My approach is direct yet compassionate, culturally responsive, and often infused with humor. I also bring lived experience as a parent and stepparent. Outside the office, I love live music, cooking, cheering on the Packers, and adventuring with my family dog.
