Therapists in Annapolis, MO

My name is Kim Ream and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in the state of Missouri. I have approximately 10 years’ experience counseling individuals (children and adults), couples and families. I have done crisis in-home family counseling, I have done private counseling at a counseling office, and I have worked in higher education counseling college students. I have worked with a variety of clinical issues and problems like family conflict, blended family problems, adjustment to life stages problems, addictions, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and many others. I am specifically trained in Gottman Method for couples-level 1, EMDR, Grief and Loss, and currently working on certification in integrative medicine: fitness and nutrition as it relates to mental health. I utilize person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral approaches. Also, as a marital and family therapist, I do use a systemic approach. I do not feel there is a one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. Each person I see is unique, their problems are unique, therefore, my approach to assisting anyone is tailored to the uniqueness and complexity of the problems they are experiencing.

As a counselor, I believe it is my role to provide a safe and compassionate space for each person that chooses to share their experience with me. My job is to help each person I see to explore past hurts, to put voice to feelings, and to help each person make meaning out of their life. It is my belief that many of us walk this world not fully allowing ourselves to come into our own, due to a fear of not being accepted and due to limiting beliefs given to us by others and society. As a counselor, I will provide a space of unconditional acceptance and compassion, in order to allow others to begin to see their authentic self. I will use different methods that suit each person and will encourage each person to make this process their own. When participating in couple's counseling, we will explore each person and what they bring to the relationship and how to build and enhance the relationship. Unity, learning love, and understanding are key to a long lasting relationship.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty-five years of experience assisting adults and couples with challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, self-worth, abuse/trauma, chronic and acute health concerns, grief, loss, end of life issues, and finding connections to spirituality apart from traditional organized religion. I was also a licensed practical nurse years ago and have completed a year of health coaching training. I am passionate about the food/mood connection and its bridge between physical and mental health. I have also taken some graduate level courses in complementary and alternative medicine because I also have a special interest in holistic health and healing. I have a very eclectic approach that draws from multiple modalities. I have a background in traditional psychotherapy, but prefer to come from a "whole person" strength-based approach rather than the traditional "illness-based" approach. I like to use the other senses in addition to "the mind" and might make use of music, art, movement, or even aromatherapy approaches. My approach seeks to offer genuine acceptance of who you are right now, helping you discover who you would like to be, and finding ways with you to make progress toward your goals. Edison said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work." I would appreciate an opportunity to look with you to finding ways that DO work for you.

Don't give up! Keep looking till you find someone that you think you would work well with! Someone is out there in the other profiles that would be a good match for you! I wish you the best, and applaud your courage in being willing to take a look at other options for your life if you are feeling troubled.

I have been a crisis counselor and outreach counselor as well working with families with have a member who have a developmental delay, I have experience counseling in domestic violence shelters as well. I believe connecting people with resources and support can assist in all facets of relationships and allow for each person to gain additional knowledge and support. I allow each person to process and talk about any question or feelings in a safe place where we can work together to learn what will work for each person and client. I will be there to help guide each person with their own skill set to help with any challenging behaviors that may present and we will problem solve together. I’m not a nod-and-smile, sort of therapist, I love to find solutions and I stay current in all research so I can bring tools to help each person — you’ll find that I laugh loudly, wear leggings and love to find mindful moments in my day while looking for all the positive things I can find and I practice yoga, thankfully it’s the effort not the harder poses that count! I know if I’m not real, I can’t expect you to be either. And when you feel safe to be real with me, we can work on how that carries over into the rest of your life. I do that through a variety of approaches. I’m holistic, looking at all aspects of your life: mind, body and spirit. I’m eclectic, drawing from years of my own clinical training, graduate work, and experience. I’m a learner, continuing to research and attend trainings, and “geek-out” on resources to enhance my therapy and leadership skills. My clients appreciate that I offer a ton of support and make them feel safe in therapy, yet I don’t shy away from giving direct feedback and ideas, or challenging a thought or belief that might be getting in the way of progress. I like to hear about relationships, past and present, believing that they hold many keys to your breakthroughs. I’ll provide tools and strategies as needed, and perhaps a book recommendation… or two. Another thing you need to know about me? I truly believe your life and your relationships can get better!
