Kim Adams Counseling and Supervision Services

Reaching out for help can be a difficult first step on a path of healing. Building rapport, comfort, and trust for an optimal therapeutic experience is essential. I meet you where you are emotionally, with no expectations or pressure. I aim to provide a safe, comfortable environment that nurtures communication and wellness. Regardless of the particular issues and circumstances that may bring you to counseling, my goal is to work together with you to identify areas of potential growth and help you as you work toward a more optimal state of being. ​ I believe that the primary process of counseling involves helping you to find the resources within yourself in order to develop skills and address themes related to your presenting problem(s) or underlying issues. Focusing on your strengths through the lens of positive psychology, I utilize elements of CBT, DBT, solution-focused and person-centered therapy. We may choose to use EFT “tapping” techniques to help reduce distressing responses to stress and pain. ​ Tuning-in to an internal sense of hope for a better tomorrow, you can foster your own personal growth on a pathway to peace and emotional wellness. I am available to provide clinical supervision for provisionally licensed counselors. My approach to supervision is founded in developmental models of supervision. This requires the supervisor to be intentional, proactive, and flexible. Supervision interventions are tailored to supervisees’ developmental, cognitive, and conceptual levels, as well as the supervisees’ motivation, skills, and personal attributes, while ensuring the needs of the client(s) are met.
