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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
