KIM SPOONER, LMHC, CCTPII

PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND PRACTICE OWNER


Kim opened Healing Trauma Center in March of 2024 but the vision spanned years in the making. The vision came about due to knowing that clients needed more to support the healing path from a psychological/holisitic whole person perspective.   Kim spent 20+ years a child care provider and worked with many children and families. For the past 12 years Kim has been a psychotherapist working with populations across the lifespan.  Trauma informed care is her focus but generalized psychotherapy is also practiced.  She uses an eclectic approach incorporating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic treatments, cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing among others. She is passionate about her work and works diligently to ensure a positive client  therapist relationship that ensures the client feels heard, seen and respected on their unique journey to wellness. During off time Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and adult children and grandchildren and traveling whenever and wherever possible.

Julie's journey is deeply rooted in her personal, professional, and academic experiences, which have shaped her therapeutic philosophies that nurture empowerment and choice. She brings a vast level of experience, offering over 20+ years of exposure and recognition within the emergency services sector, stemming from her prior military experience,  immersion and research among her fellow veterans and first responders. This extensive experience is a testament to her dedication and expertise in crisis response and behavioral health. She has practiced as a crisis clinician within an urban police department, yielding an elevated cultural sensitivity and competence toward this populace.  She holds certificates and a heightened level of experience with a variety of de-escalation techniques to assist with the stabilization of those individuals presenting with severe and persistent mental illness. Julie has specialized in giving aid back to our first responders and their families by significantly focusing on enhancing and improving overall well-being, cultivating an atmosphere of continued support, and utilizing trauma-informed approaches as the cornerstone of her practice, coupled with an eclectic use of other therapeutic modalities. Julie's primary interventions are directed toward managing anxiety, depression, substance misuse, relational complications, systemic and organizational frustrations, and betrayal. Her passion for her work extends beyond these areas. She is dedicated to meeting the community's needs, using her knowledge of human behavior and development to help individuals overcome a wide range of challenges, obstacles, and stressors. In her free time, she enjoys quality time spent with family and friends around a fire, loving on her big goofy doodle, Nelly, taking long back road rides on her Harley, and engulfing herself in a bit of content reading.
