Hi there, I'm Dr. Kim!
My name is Dr. Kim Chronister. I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, breakup recovery, and relationships.
My approach
I work well with those who have a curiosity about themselves and a willingness to be open to change. I focus on the strengths of the individual rather than on weaknesses.
My focus
I typically work with adolescents and adults in individual and couples therapy.
My communication style
Research has shown that what works in therapy is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client. I develop strong relationships in which clients feel safe sharing and exploring their thoughts and feelings with me for self-expansion.
