I’m Interested in Scheduling With Kim

Kim Lapo, LCSW, LIMHP

I am a relationally focused, intensive, EMDR therapist.

My foundation for therapy is a client-centered and relational. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that you already have the capacity for incredible healing and change. I am here to guide you on the path to healing and transforming your life. I am not here as a blank slate to reflect your thoughts and emotions back to you. I am here connecting with you in the moment, attuned to the energy and emotion that is coming up as we go through this experience together. An important part of the healing process is feeling connected, safe and supported. 

I believe in challenging the norms and thinking outside of the box of how things are “supposed to work” and the way things are “supposed to be done.”
