KIM TROTTER, MA LPC

Do you have physical or emotional pain, and are you starting to see behaviors in
yourself that you do not like or feel out of control? Are you feeling stuck, broken, or
like life is not being managed effectively? My desire as a therapist is to walk
alongside you and help you process your thoughts and emotions to find a
healthy balance and solutions to the life circumstances you have found yourself
in. 

My philosophy as a counselor is that how a person thinks affects how they feel
and behave. My goal is to help you identify thinking patterns that may be
negatively impacting your life and help you learn to challenge and take captive
those thoughts to make them more acceptable and positive so that you can be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. However, if this technique does not fit
you, I can incorporate other styles of counseling to help you achieve the healing
you desire. 

I have many years of experience working with individuals struggling with
depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma, or general life struggles. In
addition, as a former Registered Nurse and someone who has lived with chronic
illness, I have a heart for those who struggle with chronic pain and illness, as well
as their caregivers. If a client is seeking to incorporate their spiritual walk with
Christ into their therapy, as a believer, I can bring in whatever level of spirituality
they desire to assist in the healing process. 

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Mental Health Clinical Counseling from
Southwestern Assembly of God University, where I have a minor in addictions
counseling and a focus in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
