Groups and private sessions in strength-based counseling for anxiety, trauma, and loss. A "WHOLE PERSON" APPROACH TO LISTENING WITH COMPASSION
Tapping into the connection between your mind and body can open gateways to a sense of inner peace and overall well-being. I offer a creative, experienced and informed approach to counseling for anyone in need of listening, support and non-judgmental guidance. Talking is just one way you can express yourself. Another option is to explore an embodied approach that uses gestures, physical movement, colors, images and dreams to access new pathways to healing and to living a fuller life. By accessing more of yourself through mindfulness-based practices, you lay the groundwork to truly learning about yourself and your relationships. It is from this place that lasting change and resiliency occurs. These methods have been shown to be very effective for many challenges, especially anxiety, trauma, grief and loss. The Studio is now on-line, offering supportive 1:1 counseling via tele-health as well as on-going classes and group support. You are invited to walk through the gate toward exploration and hope, grounded in the principals of Mindfulness, somatic movement, trauma informed yoga and expressive arts. Professionalism and Experience
Kim Tompkins, LMHC, BC-DMT, R-YT
I am a licensed mental health counselor, yoga educator and Master’s degree level Dance/Movement Therapist. In one-one sessions or small groups, I weave together these modalities to tailor an approach to counseling that is as unique as you are. I can offer embodied expressive arts therapy, trauma sensitive yoga, and mindfulness meditation along with traditional talk therapy. With experience and training in the field for almost 20 years, I am honored to bear witness to the strength and wisdom of my students and counseling clients. With non-judgement and deep respect for your journey, I aim to provide practical tools for honest improvements to stress, emotional/and sometimes physical pain, and can help guide you to an overall sense of wholeness for a more fulfilling life.
