Kimberley Small LCSW

During our first session, we'll discuss the therapeutic process, structure, policies, and procedures. We will also explore your experiences surrounding the presenting problem(s). I use an integrative relational approach to treatment; we will think about your goals and the best ways to reach them. I primarily work with adults wanting to address the root causes of their suffering and challenges. After building internal and external resources for coping, we will identify target memories and make decisions about reprocessing in a way that feels courageous and safe within the context of your window of tolerance. We'll decide together on "growth work" to engage in between sessions. Progress will be reviewed and goals adjusted as needed until it is time to graduate or otherwise end services.

I utilize a combination of brain-based and body-based tools including Cognitive Coping, Emotional regulation techniques, Mindfulness and Visualization. I am trained in EMDR for trauma processing as well as CPP (Child Parent Psychotherapy), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Anti-racist Psychotherapy techniques.
