Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Have you been feeling depressed and isolated? Are you struggling with worry and fears? Are you finally ready to take that step and talk with someone? I understand how meeting with a therapist for the first time can feel scary and overwhelming. I work very hard to provide a safe space where clients can feel free to openly talk about what they are struggling with. I have been working with clients for 22 years to help them identify their goals and figure out what they need to move forward and experience a happier, more fulfilling life. My name is Kim Ring and I have had the opportunity to work in many different settings in the mental health field, such as outpatient, inpatient, drug and alcohol rehabs, and home-based work. Because of my vast experience I have worked with many types of clients where I have gained invaluable experience. I have worked with clients struggling with mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, life adjustment issues, grief and loss and parenting issues. I have had clients tell me they like my approach because I am genuine and direct. I believe that in order to help clients we need to put a mirror to them and be honest about what might be holding them back. Sometimes people just need support and someone to help them navigate a difficult time. I look forward to meeting you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will discuss the reason you wanted to start counseling and what you are hoping to get out of our time together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy techniques, DBT, motivational interviewing, and a variety of eclectic methods taylored to each individual's specific issues.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work hard to provide client's a safe non-judgemental space to talk freely about what they are thinking and feeling. I provide a lot of direct, gentle feedback that client's tend to value. Client's like that therapy with me feels like a conversation and not an interview. I make sure to save enough space in my schedule to allow clients to come as often or as infrequent as we feel necessary to achieve their treatment goals.
