Counseling is an opportunity to sit back with an objective other to explore problematic areas of one's life and work towards making it more fulfilling.

I count myself very lucky to have a vocation that I love doing and am regularly amazed at the inner resources that clients have proven capable of drawing upon to improve their relationships and their lives.

Congratulations on making the decision to search for a treatment facility.

Kimberly Woodling is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who utilizes insight and emotion-oriented approaches to assist patients experiencing various psychological and social challenges. Kim believes that breakthroughs and enhancements to overall relational, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning will occur as a person increases their self-awareness, and acquaints themselves with their full range emotions, contradictory feelings, interpersonal patterns, and defenses. She helps her patients scratch beneath their surface to explore unmet expectations, and unproductive patterns of behavior that keep them stuck and unsatisfied. Kim views the therapeutic process as a personal "journey" and places a strong emphasis on developing a trusting relationship with her patients, which she deems as vital to growth and symptom reduction. Kim believes in every person’s ability to live successful, fulfilling lives. Her sessions are laid back, relaxed, and she can assist patients in finding the humor or silver lining in difficult situations. She is passionate about empowering individuals, and helping them recognize their own strengths and abilities to cope with stress and challenges.

A State Licensed Professional Counselor with an advanced Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. I have engaged in years of work with individuals, couples, and families that provide me the skills, strengths, and clinical knowledge to work with my patients in the core areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues of communication and trust. We explore the areas that are most important to patients in helping them move from a place of conflict, confusion, and pain to realizing their potential for happiness and well-being.

In a world where we often feel outnumbered and overwhelmed, it’s important to have a support network that includes a trusted and knowledgeable confidant. I am here to help you become the captain of your own life as you navigate through the mental storms. I’ve found fulfillment during my professional journey working with adult and adolescent males navigating problematic behaviors.

I believe one of the most important parts of the counseling process is to develop a trusting caring relationship. With this relationship, much can be gained from the counseling sessions. I have worked well with individuals and families who have emotional pain. For many clients, helping them understand what creates such emotional pain, gaining insights puts them on a path for a more fulfilling life. In my practice I work with individuals who have sadness, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, sexual challenges and sexual abuse. My mission in therapy is to respect each client, and walk with them at their healing pace, I believe if we walk together on this healing journey life will be better.

I am hoping to work with anyone who is actively working to change their life for the better. My goal is to help you to alleviate symptoms of substance abuse, anxiety, trauma, depression, social skills, lack of focus, and inability to trust. Among other groups, I have experience as an LPC supervisor, working with professionals and adults, and transitional age youth who are bridging the gap between childhood and adulthood. I want to engage with the self-improvement potential in all clients/couples/families with whom I work.

As a Counseling Psychologist I am searching to find health or “ego strength“ in a person. People are capable of having internal positive and negative aspects in play at all times. Working from a psychodynamic model to see the whole clinical picture, I believe insight is crucial but it doesn’t guarantee behavior change. To that end I work from a cognitive and behavioral model to build strength.

I specialize in working with people in transition. These transitions have many sources, but we all struggle with them to some degree. In short, crisis provides danger and opportunity. I facilitate growth and change, rather than being reductionistic and focusing solely on symptoms. Together my clients and I collaborate to create new insights, develop new skills and eliminate old, unproductive ways of thinking and behaving.
