Kim McCullough, LMHCA
Psychotherapist
(she/her)
We seek out therapy or counseling for many different reasons. Seeking help for depression and anxiety is common, but also life circumstances or recent painful events, can lead someone to seek treatment. Sometimes there is a sense that something is missing or a desire for a life that is more meaningful. Often our natural impulse is to move away from discomfort, and yet when we do this we are moving away from the truth of our experience. Doing this can leave us feeling numb, lost, alone. My therapeutic approach is centered around creating an environment in which you feel seen and heard; a space where you can feel free to express yourself without blame or judgment. Here we can stay with the truth of your experience and get curious about what it has to tell you.
I believe that our unconscious mind and history of relational experiences shape the way we live and interact day to day. Together we will explore those patterns and the ways they have shaped you. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is built on safety, trust, collaboration, and hope. I walk alongside you as we get familiar with your picture of the world and how you relate to yourself and others. We will look through the lens of past relationships and see how you have been shaped by these relationships, and how these relating patterns are playing out in the present.
I believe in our body’s innate desire for health and joy; in addition I believe that our bodies hold the truth of our emotional world. Many times our bodies know what we are feeling in ways that are as of yet unknown by our conscious mind. Our body can be our guide when we pay attention. In our work together we will engage in the wisdom of the body. We will connect with and become familiar with the many ways the body communicates when it is treated with trust and honor.
I love to work with individuals who are struggling with the big questions of life. These often surface during times of transition. This time of transition might be a result of loss such as death, divorce, or the end of relationship. This transition could be a time of entering into a new season of life. Sometimes we are longing for change and yet we are feeling stuck and unable to find our way forward. There is such fertile ground here, I would be honored to accompany you.

“May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire; that disturbs you when you have settled for something else. May you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease; to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.”
-John O’Donohue
