Getting to know Kim Preston
Hi there, I'm Kim!
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2010. I work with preteens, adolescents, and adults, specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Focused -CBT, and Mindfulness to help my clients make progress and begin to see change.
My approach
I am trained in numerous treatment modalities, such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, TF-CBT (Trauma Focused CBT, and Mindfulness. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients work and map out a healthy beginning.
My focus
I find a meaningful and impactful approach to supporting teens and young adults through challenging times. Navigating life transitions can be tough, and helping clients build skills for resilience and self-esteem is crucial. These are the strategies or techniques I find most effective in my therapeutic work.
My communication style
Creating a safe and non-judgmental space is essential for fostering trust and openness. My calm and personable communication style likely helps clients feel valued and understood, which can make a significant difference in their healing process.
My journey to mental healthcare
My experience as a group counselor and mentor provided me with valuable insights into the challenges that people face. Seeing individuals grow and thrive is incredibly rewarding. I believe everyone gets a chance to be seen and heard.
My goals for you
That flexible approach is really valuable. Both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offer powerful tools for helping clients understand their thoughts and feelings while also encouraging them to take meaningful action. Focusing on collaboration has empowered clients to take ownership of their journey.
My first session with you
What you can expect during our first session is a client-centered approach.
