I’ve been there, and can help.

My personal experience with adversity and resilience allows me to deeply empathize with your healing journey.

Hi! I’m Kimberly Graef

I’m a dedicated therapist who specializes in crisis intervention and trauma-focused therapy. I am certified in several therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Beyond my professional qualifications, I am also a trauma thriver. I’ve experienced excruciating loss and abuse, enduring the dark night of the soul. I harnessed the resilience within to walk the path to healing. I want to help you do the same.

My journey as a therapist began after years of being an advocate for holistic wellness, encompassing the mind, body and spirit. I spent over a decade as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and an integrative nutrition coach promoting a healthy lifestyle. During this time, I had the opportunity to connect with individuals and listen to their stories.

It was through these experiences that I realized my innate ability to facilitate healing journeys.

From the moment I had my first clinical therapy session, I knew that becoming a therapist was my calling. I consider my profession a true blessing and gift, allowing me to guide others from darkness to light.

Together, let’s unearth your inner strength, and pave the way towards growth and transformation.

Why me:

  • Empathy: Through my own encounters with adversity, I can genuinely connect and understand your healing path.
  • Expertise: I have specialized knowledge in trauma, deeply understanding its significant impact on both the body and mind. I’m well-versed in how trauma persists in the body and how it shapes our brain’s perceptions.
  • ADHD Support: For women diagnosed with ADHD, I am here to be your steadfast support system. At A Safe Place for Healing, I offer hands-on tools to effectively manage ADHD symptoms, alongside addressing its emotional and psychological toll.
