Kim Gengler, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

If relationships created your suffering and struggles then relationships can heal them. By engaging in new, reparative relationships (with yourself and with others) you can develop an embodied sense of worthiness. Psychotherapy is a healing relationship that not only teaches you new tools, but also repairs past wounds. I can guide you in this process, bringing deep care and compassion. Taking a phased approach to therapy, I use both creative and evidence-based approaches to support your goals. First, we'll work to build awareness of the beliefs, experiences, body sensations and memories that negatively impact your wellbeing. We'll collaborate on a plan that's right for you or your relationships. Next, I teach somatic resourcing skills and self befriending practices that address ingrained survival strategies that no longer serve you or your relationships. Through this process, you can build a more trusting and compassionate relationship with yourself, others, and the world. Finally, deeper wounds are addressed and processed, clearing the way for more satisfaction and wellbeing. To close, I'll support the integration of your healing journey.
