Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

10/9/25-Kim is currently accepting new individuals. Conveniently located on Benner Pike in Bellefonte, my office offers free, accessible parking. Coming to therapy with me means stepping into a laid-back, non-judgmental space where you can truly relax, be yourself, and maybe sip some tea or coffee (because deep conversations are better with a warm drink). My office has a warm, inviting vibe...like a cozy hideaway where you can unwind, be yourself, and leave the outside world at the door (shoes optional, snacks welcome). My approach is all about keeping it real. I’m direct but compassionate, getting to the root of what is going on while leaving room for a little humor to lighten the load.

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in school-based, home-based, outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. I have worked with juvenile probation & men at a state correctional institute for six years, addressing challenges such as sexual and violent offenses, domestic abuse, substance use, and related behaviors.

I enjoy working with diverse clients such as parents managing complex family dynamics, women seeking empowerment and self-confidence, men facing emotional struggles, teens in the juvenile justice system, and those in the forensic population. I’m dedicated to providing personalized support that promotes resilience, growth, and lasting positive change.

I am open and affirming of individuals of every background, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability status.
