I am an experienced EMDR trained therapist. If this is something you want to consider, please call the Counseling Center of West Michigan at 616-805-3660 to learn more and/or schedule an appointment. Trauma doesn’t have to rule your life.

"In all cases, EMDR treatment entails processing the past events that have set the groundwork for current dysfunction, the present situations that bring up the disturbance, and templates for appropriate future action." -Francine Shapiro, Florence W. Kaslow, and Louise Maxfield

Life can be really hard sometimes. You are never alone. Reach out if you need support.

This is your reminder to celebrate you 💛 Take a moment to acknowledge your strength and everything you've overcome - and if you ever need someone to talk to, we're here for you. Text or call 988.

If you’re really struggling, and life feels too overwhelming, reach out for support. Depression makes us think in tunnel vision, where we can’t see all options to a problem or difficult situation. Crisis counselors are trained mental health professionals who can help guide you to options outside of despair and/or giving up. Today doesn’t have to be your last day.

Myth: We can't help someone who is struggling with their mental health.
Truth: Friends and loved ones can make a big difference in someone else's life by supporting them and connecting them with resources. 💙

Meme Monday!
Boundaries are a good thing to have. It’s ok to say, “Sorry, I want to, but I’m just plumb worn out emotionally.”

Past traumas can have a profound impact, creating invisible and unhealthy anchors.
Unlocking and separating the connection between the trauma and how we feel/respond to the memory can be truly liberating.
EMDR Therapy can help us reprocess those events that have chained us to the past. Come experience EMDR with Kimberly and let’s break free.
