**I'm currently full, but we have providers at Changes Counseling who are taking new clients. You can send a message through our website & someone will get back to you.** Are you looking for a safe and challenging environment to grow? The foundation of my work centers on you becoming more of who you really are. My style of therapy is to listen and really understand what you are going through and gently support you through these difficulties. Often my clients report feeling empowered and over time experience more peace and joy in their lives.
I have more than 15 years of experience working with women's issues including addiction, codependency, shame and trauma. I believe the ability to heal and grow is within everyone. I will work with you to move towards healing by listening, establish goals, processing difficult events and developing strategies to address the distressing symptoms.
If your feeling unsure about starting therapy- I understand there may be a part of you that's ready to make a change and a part that feels hesitant to pick up the phone. I get that! We can get to know the parts of you that are concerned about making a change. If you are not sure if therapy is right for you, please call for a free 30 minute consultation.
Call or Kim Poitra now for a free 15 minute consultation - (612) 400-9169
