Kimberly Brenner, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Kimberly!

My expertise is in relationship issues, with self and others.

My focus

Clients seek my advice on what to do about their relationships with self, spouse, children, co-workers, and others.

My approach

I am focused on outcomes using solution-focused methods. I have studied multiple methods for couples work and have developed my own. I have helped family-owned and run businesses manage relationship conflicts.

My communication style

My clients have told me that they appreciate that I don't sugarcoat things, nor am I judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been seeking answers to the question Why do people do what they do? And then to help them understand the people around them and themselves so that they can have fulfilling relationships that include love, respect, and growth.

My goals for you

My clients are smart enough and resourceful to come up with a direction that fits them. I provide information and allow my clients to decide what will work for them.

Our first session

I want my clients to walk away with a shift in thinking, some level of relief, and a positive feeling that they can improve on whatever outcome they are looking for, at every session, including that first one.
