Welcome Robin Castillo & Kate Schroeder to the gokc Therapy Team
Welcome, Robin & Kate — Two New Therapists Now Accepting Clients at gokc
We’re so excited to introduce two extraordinary additions to gokc — and even more excited that both of them have openings right now.
Growing With Intention: Two Therapists Who Truly Fit
At gokc, growing the team has always meant something. It’s not about filling chairs — it’s about finding people whose values, approach, and lived experience align with the kind of care we’ve always wanted to offer. Every person we add makes it more possible for more people in Kansas City to find someone who truly gets them.
Robin Castillo and Kate Schroeder are exactly that kind of addition. They each bring something real and distinct to gokc — and right now, they both have availability for new clients. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to reach out, this is it.
“The right therapist doesn’t just help you cope — they help you find yourself again. Robin and Kate are both here to do exactly that.”
Meet Robin Castillo, PLPC — Therapist for Women, Midlife & Identity in the Kansas City Northland
Robin Castillo
PLPC · Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
“You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else. This is a space where you finally get to show up for you.”
📍 Kansas City Northland · Parkville · Gladstone · Liberty · Online Therapy in Missouri
Robin works with adults 30 and older — with a particular focus on women navigating midlife and the transitions that come with it. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, or quietly wondering “what about me?” — Robin gets it, because she’s in this chapter of life herself.
She also provides genuinely affirming care for transgender and gender-expansive adults exploring identity, self-expression, and life transitions. Not as a specialty add-on — as a foundational commitment.
Robin is private pay and currently serving clients in the Kansas City Northland — including Parkville, Gladstone, Liberty, and North Kansas City — and via telehealth across Missouri.
Learn More About Robin →For women in their 30s, 40s, or 50s who have been carrying a lot for a long time — Robin is the kind of therapist who will meet you right where you are. Warm, grounded, collaborative, and genuinely unhurried.
And for clients in the Kansas City Northland: finding affirming, specialized mental health care closer to home has historically meant a longer drive south. Robin changes that. Whether you’re in Parkville, Gladstone, Liberty, or North KC, quality therapy is now much closer — or just a click away via telehealth.
Meet Kate Schroeder, PLPC — Therapist for Trauma, Anxiety & Real Life in Brookside, Kansas City
Kate Schroeder
PLPC · Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
“Therapy shouldn’t feel murky. You deserve a space that is clear, safe, and completely free of shame.”
📍 Brookside, Kansas City, MO · Waldo · Prairie Village · Leawood · Overland Park · Mission Hills
Kate is a Brookside-based therapist with a refreshingly honest approach — she sought out therapy herself, remembers exactly what it felt like to not know where to begin, and built her entire practice around making that experience as clear and shame-free as possible.
She works with clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the general weight of what life throws at you. Her approach weaves together person-centered warmth, body-based psychoeducation (she loves helping clients understand why their nervous system does what it does), and genuine humor to keep things human.
Kate is private pay and sees clients in person in Brookside, Kansas City and via telehealth across Missouri. She’s a natural fit for clients in Brookside, Waldo, Prairie Village, Leawood, Overland Park, and Mission Hills.
Learn More About Kate →What makes Kate stand out isn’t just her warmth — it’s her self-awareness. She knows what it feels like to sit in that uncomfortable place of not knowing where to start. That lived understanding makes her especially good at meeting clients exactly where they are, whether it’s your first time in therapy or your third attempt to find someone who actually clicks.
If you’re in Brookside or Waldo, Kate is right in your neighborhood. And for clients crossing the state line from Prairie Village, Leawood, Overland Park, or Mission Hills, she’s one of the most accessible and genuinely well-matched therapists in the greater KC area.
