Hello, I am Kim Chilvers, I use she/her pronouns, and am an LMFT with over 20 years of experience. My specialties include individual adults and teens struggling with the effects of trauma, life transitions, depression, and anxiety. I use EMDR and other evidence based interventions to help clients develop coping skills, a better understanding of emotions, relationships and working towards achieving life goals, in a safe, non-judgment space. I take a humble and curious approach to the diverse cultural, life style and gender experiences of my clients.
I work from a client centered, trauma informed stance, using empathy to meet people where they are while guiding them to look at how they got there and promoting skills to build change. I utilize EMDR as well as well elements of IFS, CBT and DBT to reprocess trauma, identify strengths, reframe stuck patterns. I am also a certified SSP provider
I know starting therapy can be difficult. My goal is to offer you a safe place to learn, heal and grow.
i am happy that you are taking this step for yourself. Please reach out for a free consultation.
