Kimberly Powers, LMHC, has been effectively supporting patients with developing self-awareness and emotion regulation through the use of Dialectical behavior therapy and the warm glow of the computer screen. Patients use their new periods of calm to direct their movement toward values-based and actionable goals and improve their lives.
My approach
Therapy is intended to be peaceful and soothing and allows for new skill development to be practiced and assessed. New skills are challenging in the world; the therapeutic space allows for the dust to settle while new behaviors are shaped.
My focus
My clients are motivated to learn about themselves in an accepting and well-boundaried space that emphasizes non-judgmental self-assessment and learning. Patients have typically noticed symptoms of mood dysregulation (i.e., periods of agitation, anxiety, or depressed mood and low motivation) or have an awareness of ongoing challenges in interpersonal problem-solving.
My communication style
Therapeutic space is safe and grows with you. The room is ready to share and reflect at your learning pace.
My journey to mental healthcare
In my work as a therapist, I am blessed by the ongoing opportunities to grow in supporting interpersonal and emotional health in all kinds of people, just like you and I, and witness the rippling health and progress that it yields.
My goals for you
Treatment goals are typically reflective of patient concerns, therapeutic recommendations, and the values-based action steps that facilitate the outcomes desired by the patient.
My first session with you
In the first session, you can expect that I will be curious about the most prominent concerns bringing the you to therapy, in addition to the current awareness and strategies being applied to your life. I am typically curious with you about how you expect to move forward and the ways in which you believe I can support you.
