I'm Kim Dew and I am a licensed professional counselor (VA #0701005826.) I am also a licensed professional counseling supervisor  in the state of Virginia and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I am currently working primarily with adults and adolescents and couples, and specialize in working with members of the military and first responders. 

With more than 25 years in practice, I have had the opportunity to work in many different settings and gain the experience that each has to offer. From crisis stabilization and residential treatment to family interventions and working individually with clients struggling with personal concerns.  I have specialized training in critical incident and trauma recovery, conflict resolution and have trained with the Veteran's Administration on PTSD treatment.  As a (retired) military family member, I also have experience working with military families and the issues unique to their lives. 

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I  use an eclectic blend of treatment types, based on the needs of each client, but rely heavily on empirically proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  I find that CBT, combined with the client-centered approach of providing a neutral safe space for clients to express their concerns, helps create the best and most successful treatment plans.  
My goal is to make clients feel heard, respected, cared about, and safe, while also helping them make the changes they desire to move closer to the life they want.
