Kimberly Steger

I switched to mental health work after spending a decade teaching high school English in a rural area. I continued to serve the rural and disabled populations in my internships and residency.

Once I was licensed, I moved to outpatient therapy in the community health setting. Covid-19 introduced teletherapy as a standard practice to the entire world, myself included. I transitioned to being fully virtual for outpatient therapy in January 2024.

I have decades of experience working with adolescents and the under-served in a variety of settings. My background and education have provided me with an understanding of the systems and dynamics that shape our worldviews. I apply this approach to my understanding of my clients' backgrounds and the external pressures that might be impacting them, directly and indirectly.

I'm the expert in mental health. You're the expert in you and your life! Let's work together to figure it out.

Aside from the review of documentation, consent, and policies, I let the first session be what you need it to be. If you need the first session to focus on one specific issue, that's what we'll do. If you aren't sure where to start, don't sweat it. That's my job, and I can guide you through the process at a pace that's comfortable for you. Many clients tell me that I put them at ease very quickly!
