Getting to know Kimberlee Smith Chiago

Hi there, I'm Kimberlee! Hello, I'm Kimberlee Smith Chiago, MS, LPC, NCC, a licensed counselor specializing in trauma-focused therapy. I earned my Master's in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I use an individualized approach that includes accelerated resolution therapy along with techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other modalities. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for healing, focusing on each client's unique needs. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to each client's unique needs, particularly when addressing trauma. I primarily draw on accelerated resolution therapy to help clients process traumatic experiences in a safe, structured way. Alongside this, I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to enhance emotional regulation, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) for practical problem-solving, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to build mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support personal growth. This multi-faceted approach allows me to provide personalized, effective care that promotes healing and resilience. My focus I primarily work with clients who have experienced trauma and are seeking healing from its impact on their lives. My practice focuses on individuals dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and related challenges that arise from trauma. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients navigate complex emotional and behavioral issues, offering them tools for resilience and emotional regulation. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, aimed at helping each person reclaim their sense of well-being.
