Ethan Kaste

Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

• Certified Clinical Traumatologist
• Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
• Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Person-Centered care. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Together, we slow things down to make sense of your emotions—especially the ones that feel overwhelming, confusing, or hard to put into words.

Rather than fixing or directing, I walk alongside you, sometimes using guided imagery or somatic processing (i.e. identifying where that feeling occurs in your body), helping you reconnect with your inner strengths and build safer, more meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Therapy is a space to feel, reflect, and grow—at your pace—so you can rediscover hope and move forward with greater clarity and connection.
