Kimberly Louvin, LCSW

I have worked in K-12 schools, universities, nonprofits, ministry, and with community organizations for over ten years supporting teens, young adults, and families through the transitions of middle and high school and from high school into the next steps of life - higher education, the workforce, or starting a family. I have worked with teens since before Snapchat and came of age when social media was just beginning, so I incorporate healthy internet use as a part of my practice and am very familiar working with families who are concerned about their teen’s internet use. I even spent a few years running an after-school program at an elementary school and attempted to coach 6th grade soccer for a VERY brief minute between making slime and serving chicken nuggets. I love building relationships and helping others feel more in control of their lives, access support beyond me to achieve their goals, and have healthier relationships with themselves and others. As a School Social Worker, I have worked with anyone interested in talking through something on their mind for a decade. In my private practice, I desire to work with anyone who desires to work with me and we both determine we’re a good match. I have extensive experience supporting educators and other essential workers experiencing high-stress work environments, burnout, and other workers experiencing systemic oppression through unhealthy labor practices and wages. If you’ve done therapy in the past and experienced being told that your environment or circumstances shouldn’t impact your mental health so much, know that I will never say that to you. You are a human in an environment that is vying for your attention, money, and heart.
