Dr. Kimberly Lichte-Madakasira LMFT

Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and it can be scary to go to therapy. My priority is creating a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. My goal is to help you through your emotional healing journey so you can lead a life in the present that is fulfilling and meaningful. We accomplish this through a structured, non-confrontational approach where together, we will search for patterns in your life that are causing you difficulties. You are the expert on yourself. I will honor that in each session while empowering you with the tools you need to succeed outside of the therapy setting.

I use an eclectic therapeutic mix, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I chose the best approaches for your issues and needs to guide you in finding your strength and wisdom. We will begin by setting two or three small goals to work towards and set new goals as you progress along your journey. We will work to identify patterns in your thoughts and life and change them, one step at a time. We will incorporate some basic mindfulness practices to give you the space and freedom to heal. Through our work together, you will learn the tools you need to bravely meet each new day on your terms. My clients tend to be open to trying mindfulness and meditation as they can be excellent tools in their healing journey.
