She served as a youth director and teacher at her church. Her work has focused on strengthening support systems by ensuring effective, ethical, and relationship-centered practices preparing youth for their future.

Since that time, they have had over 20 foster children come through their home. Kim uses TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) and methods from The Whole-Brain Child on a daily basis.
Kim recognizes the need to offer a compassionate, open-minded space where women can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Rest makes us beautiful, too.
Did you know in autumn, trees don’t die?
They rest. The tree is preparing for winter.
I recently learned that the beautiful colors begin to emerge when chlorophyll production slows. These Bradford pears are just outside my office door, and I’ve been watching them change over the past month.
Resting isn’t laziness. It’s God’s design.

The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.
Our Hope at The Bridge Therapeutic Services is to Bridge Christian counseling and whole health treatment together.
We want to normalize therapy for all as both preventative and interventive. Therapy is preventative in the form of teaching awareness, creating a toolkit, and building resilience to learn how to better manage stress. Therapy is intervenentive by helping people overcome challenges.

When struggling it is so important to look at infections and how they impact your mental health.
We had such a good time at Peace of Mind today, connecting with so many friends and meeting new friends too!
We loved hearing from Dr. Kristin Neff who spoke on Mindfulness Self Compassion. Research shows that just 30 seconds a day of checking in with yourself and giving yourself warmth and support is enough to increase self compassion.

Heart-Focused Christian Counseling at The Bridge means bringing purpose and hope to the lives of our clients. We believe if a person has purpose in the midst of their struggles, then they have hope, and having hope is having everything. As counselors, we desire to sojourn with our clients through their seasons in life by offering them a sound perspective that will encourage, sustain, and align them with The Truth. Heart-Focused Therapy aims to promote reconciliation for our clients within their relationships with others and with God through Jesus. This Biblically based therapy helps our clients by getting to the root of the problem to show where our hearts must change and grow. Our Christian counseling is provided within the framework of a trusting relationship between the therapist and client. We believe that God’s sovereign goodness not only overcomes our pain and suffering, but that it has been purposed for our good and God’s glory.
Whole Health Purposed
Whole Health at The Bridge means the integration of behavioral health (mind) with primary health care (body) to address the needs of our clients, families, and communities. By collaborating within our office and with community professionals we are able to enhance our client’s care by helping the whole person. We have created a community within our office to help and heal through connection. Our care is focused both on intervention for illness and prevention for wellness by putting our clients at the center of treatment. The overwhelming majority of all illness is stress induced. We believe that a healthy calm lifestyle along with connection helps and prevents illness while optimizing a person’s well being. We see behavior as a symptom telling us what the root problem is. Calming strategies, sensory integration, and mindfulness help our clients connect. We aim to be research and education based while understanding the structure and function of the nervous system and brain in our treatment.
Connection Heals
Connection at The Bridge means intentionally connecting with God, ourselves, and others. We are created by God to worship him and live a life connected to him. By having a Heart-Focused perspective in our relationship with God we become more rightly aligned with Him and therefore more connected with others and ourselves. God designed us to have a body, mind, and soul which are intricately and purposefully interwoven. By having a Whole Health perspective we understand that in times of difficulty we need help to reconnect. We are designed to live in relationship with our family, friends, and community. By having a connection perspective, which emphasizes God, ourselves, and others we are able to more fully bridge Heart-Focused Therapy and Whole Health together.
