Kimberly DePue

Welcome! I believe we as people, are doing the best we can, and sometimes our conscious or subconscious "plan" to take care of ourselves is just not working anymore. Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way....like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear.

I have extensive history of working with people looking to sustain recovery from addiction, family members impacted by addiction, military members, domestic violence and family abuse.

Trauma and relational ruptures shape how we see ourselves & the world around us. It directly impacts our relationships, self perception, coping skills, self esteem, etc. A common way to manage the impact of trauma is through unhealthy or addictive behaviors. I can offer you guidance through intense emotional experiences with non-judgment. I want to support your concerns and help you improve your sense of wellbeing. I am respectful, authentic and collaborative.

I am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist and a Certified Clinical Supervisor. After earning my LCSW and LCAS, I continued my training with over 50 hours on the Americans Sciences of Addictions Medicine Manual, over 200 hours in Gestalt Therapy and 50 hours of EMDR from EMDRHAP

My framework is based on the idea that we have an inherent need to relate to others, ourselves and our communities and I help you do this by enhancing your self awareness. With deeper understanding you will be able to learn new insight and skills, and repair the relationship with yourself and if you’re interested, with others.

In our first session we will complete your history, symptoms, talk about your goals and develop your treatment plan. I will review my practice policies, my clinical framework and treatment models. Just as fit is important with your doctor, dentist, accountant, etc....fit is very important with a therapist. I want to hear about what you are looking for, what has worked well in the past, and things you would like to see different.
