Kim DuBose Clinician |
Hello, my name is Kim DuBose (she/her). I am an independently licensed clinical social worker. I earned my MSW at Smith College’s School for Social Work. I will share some words regarding my philosophy and therapeutic approach. I know that therapy isn’t an easy endeavor. It will challenge you. There may be parts of you that are ambivalent about beginning therapy. Perhaps you’ve been wrestling with whether you should. If you have these ambivalent parts, it’s understandable and you are not alone in this. You simply have parts of yourselves that have been hurt, that are cautious and trying to protect you from further hurt. To assist in your healing, I will practice from an eclectic approach. I am IFS and EMDR trained and utilize various other therapeutic approaches. My ultimate goals as a therapist are two-fold: one, to help you cultivate your own innate and recoverable wisdom through curiosity about your parts and self-compassion; and, two, to hold you accountable in your desire to be in kind and authentic relationship within yourself and with others.
In addition to individual therapy, I absolutely love facilitating group therapy and bearing witness to group members growing, connecting to and supporting each other. It can be a magical experience. But no matter the modality, I practice therapy with curiosity, immersed with kindness. I consider therapy to be sacred work. And I am dedicated to providing multi-culturally affirming, sensitive, and competent care no matter your identity, gender, sex, shape, belief system, size, ability, persuasion, orientation or lived experience. I really want to know you and for you to know and value yourself and others.
– In Loving Communion--Kim
