Hi; my name is Kim and I am a licensed professional counselor. I come from a mixture of theoretical orientations; the dominant ones being Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Existentialism. These orientations allow me to interact with clients directly where we challenge irrational or unproductive thinking while learning that we are free to make our own life choices and determine where things go from here. I believe in establishing genuine connections with clients and therefore typically develop trusting relationships with them quickly.
