Meadowbrook CounselingSt. George, Utah

I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's complexities. I have specialized training in Motivational Interviewing, a client-centered therapeutic approach that helps individuals find the motivation to make positive changes. My professional journey has been shaped by my extensive work with vulnerable populations, particularly those referred by Child Protective Services. These high-risk, often court-ordered cases have involved complex family dynamics, requiring a nuanced and adaptable approach to therapy. Working with families, couples, and individuals facing a wide range of challenges has honed my skills in crisis management and therapeutic intervention. I am adept at creating a safe and supportive environment, even for clients who may be skeptical of therapy. My goal is to make the therapeutic process accessible, engaging, and, ultimately, transformative. I believe in the power of therapy to foster resilience, strengthen relationships, and promote healing, and I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients on their unique journeys toward growth and well-being.

At the same time, there’s often a part of you that knows something needs to shift—you want clarity, healing, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself. I’m Kim Christensen, a Certified Social Worker (CSW), with both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah. I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I show up as a real person—honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of your unique story. I’m not here to fix you or push you into a mold that doesn’t fit. Instead, I work alongside you to create a space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is rooted in a strong belief in your capacity to heal. I use a blend of EMDR, somatic therapy, sand tray, and Polyvagal Theory to support deeper processing and nervous system regulation. I use a person-centered and systems-based approach, meaning I consider the full context of your life—your relationships, environment, and lived experiences—while creating a space that feels safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental. I have experience supporting individuals and families through complex life challenges, and that work has shaped my deep respect for resilience and the courage it takes to seek support. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and the healing of past wounds. Outside of my work, I’ve been married for over 25 years and am the proud parent of two adult children. I share my home with four dogs and a cat, and I find peace and grounding in the outdoors—especially hiking, climbing, and mountain biking. Therapy is a collaborative process, and you don’t have to come in with everything figured out. If you’re ready to begin—or even just considering it—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
