Transformation from within

About Kimberly Childress

Hi, I’m Kimberly Childress, a graduate intern at Indiana University South Bend, pursuing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. Therapy, to me, is one of the few spaces that allow you to feel seen, heard and understood without judgement. Within this safe space, we will walk through this journey together and set goals that matter to you-whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

I lean towards a person-centered approach while utilizing a variety of treatment techniques: CBT, DBT, Polyvagal Theory, Motivational Interviewing. I also encourage self-reflection, journaling, meditation/mindfulness techniques.
Areas of specialty: depression, anxiety, ADHD.

When I am not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my two German Shepherds, Kya and Kaiser. I also enjoy creative outlets, such as reading novels, coloring, arts and crafts, DIY projects, audibles and podcasts.

I obtained my Bachelors degree at Purdue Northwest in Communications with a minor in Psychology in 2019. I also have a license to practice Cosmetology.
