Getting to know Kim Stires

Hi there, I'm Kim! Hi, I’m Kim Stires and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve been a therapist for 12 years & specialize in helping adults manage stress, anxiety, & depression. My approach I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction & often use these tools in sessions. In therapy we can focus on how thinking affects how we feel & act while working on changing unhelpful thinking patterns. I also enjoy teaching & practicing mindfulness skills like deep breathing, body scan, & gentle movement which can help you develop self-awareness, cognitive flexibility & regulate emotions. My focus I typically working with adults looking to better manage anxiety & stress or who want help managing symptoms related to depression, life transitions, ADHD or trauma. My communication style I'm an open-minded, active, well-seasoned therapist. I use humor and a non-judgmental approach to create a safe space for clients to be themselves, take risks, grow & heal. My journey to mental healthcare I have a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and have worked primarily in outpatient clinics prior to starting my own practice 4 years ago. I’ve seen firsthand how therapy and mindfulness can improve mental health and overall wellbeing & I feel grateful I get to help people with those things through the work I do. My goals for you I spend time in the first few sessions getting to know you & what you’re going through. Together we'll make a plan to move towards your goals & check in periodically to make sure we're moving in the right direction. My first session with you In our first session, we’ll get to know each other & talk about your goals for therapy. I’ll ask questions to learn about you & what brings you to therapy, as well as answer any questions you have. At the end of the session, I’ll give you some feedback & discuss our options for working together.
