Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Kirkland, WA covered by United Healthcare

As a therapist, I work to form an empathetic and collaborative relationship with clients and form an understanding of the difficulties that brought them to therapy, explore clients' goals, and how to achieve them. As the client being the expert, we will work to identify what is holding them back from achieving and maintaining their desired results. As a former division l scholar athlete, my goal is to work as a team and encourage clients in a direction towards positive change.

Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with advanced training from Drexel University. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. My practice integrates thoughtful medication management with supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and collaborative care to help you feel heard, informed, and empowered in your treatment.

I've worked with families and individuals in various outpatient mental health treatment settings.

I am able to provide counseling services in English and Korean.

Great day to you! I am Kim Rodgers, LICSW (15yrs.). To complete my Master’s of Social Work Degree, I served as a school counselor for grades K-9. Since then, I have worked in Corrections, the Homeless Department and the Vet Center (within the Federal Government), in a Behavioral Health Hospital, and in Community Health. I have a great deal of “outreach work” experience, both personally and professionally.

Additional Background Information:

I strongly value embodying a balance with my Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Physical well-being . Some activities I enjoy include Yoga, Hiking, Swimming, Cooking, Reading, Language learning, Spiritually Anchored Gatherings, Educational/Culturally enriching activities, and Dancing (I am learning Hula!: ). I am a very health conscious individual and mostly eat Organic Vegetarian (Sometimes will eat wild salmon, which is a culturally significant food from the Pacific Northwest).

My passion is to help individuals who are stuck in life's transitions move into a productive space. I have over seven years of experience working with adults, couples, and adolescents impacted by stress, anxiety, life transitions, work-related challenges, lack of fulfillment, and depression. I have advanced training in EMDR, trauma-based care, and relationship dynamics. I look forward to working with you.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!
