About Kimberly
Greetings, I'm Kim and I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, certified in Clinical Trauma Treatment, with a successful consulting partnership in Rhode Island. I’m committed to the mental health and well-being of my clients and have been providing clinical services in various settings for the past 15 years. In my practice I assist clients coping with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and those seeking trauma resolution. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client centered and rational-emotive counseling. These advanced methods promote healing and desired change in a unique, gentle, and respectful manner. Clients tell me I am a mindful listener, easy to talk to and genuine in my approach to build a therapeutic relationship. I offer a flexible schedule with whatever mode of communication suits you best. I begin each new journey with clients starting where they are and always having them in the driver seat of change. We’ll set goals for therapy together, I’ll honor your time commitment and use our time efficiently and wisely. It takes courage to recognize something needs to change and bravery to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you along the way. I look forward to working with you! Read more Show less
