Eating Disorders
From therapists who understand and who have been there, we specialize in anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and anyone who falls along the spectrum of disordered eating.

We understand the spectrum of behaviors associated with disordered eating and the profound shame individuals experience when suffering from these disorders.

Welcome.
I’m Kate Perkins, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, an Overland Park-based therapist, supervisor, and coach.
Hi! I’m Kate Perkins. When life feels heavy loaded with burdens, when you receive medical news that is hard to accept, when you’re trapped in the cycle of disordered eating, when everyday feels overwhelming, you need more support. You are not alone. At Simply Known, we are dedicated to helping people feel supported, validated, and seen.
I am passionate about meeting people where they are — helping clients feel accepted and understood, while gently challenging negative beliefs that hold you back from thriving. Throughout our journey together, I am committed to nourishing care that is person-centered with a tailor made treatment plan to help achieve your personal therapy goals.
“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage.”
