Getting to know Kimberly Walker-Demattei

Hi there, I'm Kimberly! Hello, my name is Kimberly Walker-DeMattei. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute. I work with individuals experiencing grief and loss due to the death of a loved one or impactful life changes, as well as other life transitions and mental health challenges. Unaddressed grief can often be at the root of the problem. I offer art therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and self-care strategies. I understand how painful and life-changing grief can be. I believe a supportive therapeutic relationship helps people navigate life’s challenges, find solutions, increase self-awareness, and build strength to live well. I can support you in creating your desired changes. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, and accepting safe space for clients. I look forward to working with you! My approach I integrate various techniques to support people in making desired changes. I am person-centered and directive while offering guidance. I often start by teaching self-care strategies, mindfulness-based interventions, and collaborative goal creation. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing when needed. I offer psychoeducation on grief and loss with coping suggestions. My focus I work with kids 12 years and older, teens, and adults experiencing life adjustments. I am a generalist with specific training in grief, loss, and childhood development. I also treat depression, anxiety, codependency, ADHD, trauma, abuse, addiction, parenting issues, aging and retirement, empty nesting, chronic health challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, separation and divorce, LGBTQ+ and gender identity concerns, including communication and relationship challenges.
