Our Services
Counseling
Counseling is a collaborative effort between the therapist and client. We both bring special assets or skills to each session. By entering into counseling we are creating a partnership that will work together to bring about change in your life. As your counselor, Kim will guide and teach each client to gain the skills they need to incorporate hope and change in their life. She believes in the healing power of laughter and the strengths of the client. In order for our partnership to work, we both need to fulfill our promises.
As your counselor, I promise to:
- Listen
- Offer hope and direction
- Care about you and your well-being
- Be non-judgmental and compassionate
- Be honest
- Provide guidance on your journey
- Empower you to regain your life
In return, you promise, as a partner, to:
- Want to change your life or behavior
- Be open to the experience of counseling
- Acknowledge that the journey may, at times, be difficult or scary
- Have a willingness to be an active participant in counseling
- Be honest and open

Counseling Using EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing – This is a specialized treatment technique to offer the client maximum results when struggling with PTSD, panic attacks, disturbing memories, sexual and/or emotional and/or physical abuse, phobias, or stress reduction. EMDR therapy is used to process unresolved past experiences and/or disturbing images causing negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The goal is to leave the client with understanding and insight, therefore leading to healthy emotions and behaviors in the future.
