About Therapy with Me
This is your space for exploration and healing.
Therapy can be challenging, so the last thing you need is to step into a space that feels cold or clinical.
My goal is for you to feel at ease when you enter my office – virtually or in person.
Imagine settling into a cozy, inviting room where you can relax and feel safe enough to be yourself. Many of my clients describe therapy as a much-needed pause from the overwhelming pressures of life. This is your space – warm, welcoming, and tailored to your comfort – where you set the pace for your journey.
During our first session, we will establish and clarify your goals in this journey so that by the time we are done, you will be confident that you have wisely invested in yourself, your relationships, and your future.
I cannot do the work for you, but I would be honored to stand next to you as you progress on this healing journey.
About Kim Dodd, MA, LMFT
Lasting, loving relationships make my life fulfilling.
I am a mom, wife, writer, therapist, pastor, and lifelong learner. My husband and I have been married for nearly 30 years, and we have three children, each navigating various stages of adulthood.
Our youngest child was diagnosed with a rare genetic anomaly at age two, profoundly reshaping my understanding of parenting, family dynamics, and my career.
Relationships are at the core of who we are. Whether someone seeks therapy for personal growth, family challenges, or marriage concerns, the influence of past and present relationships inevitably shapes our work together. This is why I call myself a Systems Therapist.
Helping others is my passion.
Now that my children are forging their paths and learning to become adults, I can dedicate more energy to my passion: helping others discover hope and healing.
I have been a licensed therapist in Indiana (License # 35001654A) for over 20 years and am also an ordained minister and licensed therapist in California (License #140728).
I am trained as a Gottman 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work Educator and a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator/Trainer. I am also a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage & Family Therapy and a Board-Certified Professional and Pastoral Counselor.
In addition to providing therapy…
I enjoy teaching as an adjunct professor, supervising interns and associates, and overseeing a life-long dream: a community counseling center.
The journey of the past few decades has equipped me with skills and insights I never imagined, guiding me to where I am today.
