About porchlight

welcome

Kathryn McGuirk is the founder and primary therapist of Porchlight Therapy & Addiction.  Kathryn moved around a lot when she was young, spending her formative years in Chicago (go Cubbies!), landing in Colorado for school in 2001 and decided to make it her forever home. Kathryn lives in Boulder with her husband, two kids and Bernese Mountain Dog, Echo.  She enjoys the outdoor lifestyle that comes with living near the mountains like hiking, snowboarding, and attending music festivals.

Kathryn’s passion is working with college students and adults on a variety of issues ranging from relationships and life transitions to trauma and addiction. She has over 15 years of experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Substance Abuse and Trauma issues.  Kathryn knows it is an honor to be a part of someone’s road to recovery and that therapy is not an easy process. She understands that it takes courage to ask for help and recognize the need for change.
