Kim Edmister

Hi! I'm Kim, and I'm here to help. Are you feeling stuck? Keep putting off getting help in the hopes that things will get better on their own? Overwhelmed with where to start, who to call, how to choose? I'm glad you're here. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship when you find that “just right” helping professional to walk with you through your struggles. In the hopes of making YOUR search just a little bit easier, I offer a 50-minute, in- person Meet & Greet. A Meet & Greet session provides you with the opportunity to "check things out" before deciding whether or not you and I are a good fit - and BEFORE you have to pay a fee. Consider it a trial run. The fee for the Meet & Greet is deferred and only collected from clients who choose to continue on in therapy with me. For those who choose not to return, the fee is waived. It's my way of honoring and encouraging your process for finding that "just right" person for you - even if it's not me. I'm not a "sit back and nod" kind of therapist. Rather, I'm a "roll up my sleeves and get to work"  kind of therapist.  Our work together will be goal-oriented, which means it will have purpose. We will monitor our progress (making adjustments as needed) to ensure we are getting you closer to the life you want.  I aspire to be your holder of hope and guide to healing and happiness. ​I describe my approach to therapy as integrative. That means that I use techniques from a variety of evidenced-based approaches to tailor therapy to meet your particular needs. I teach practical tools for you to take into the real world to better manage your emotions and improve your relationships. I've been in the business of helping for 20+ years. I guess you could say that helping is what "floats my boat" - it's where I find purpose in my life. And, I would be honored to be invited into your life to lead your therapeutic journey. When you're ready to get started, I'll be standing by. Because, after all...possibilities await:)
