Kimberly (Vogel) Whalen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University and graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pfeiffer University of Graduate Studies. Kimberly is certified in Level 1 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Her therapy approach is taken from an attachment theory and perspective. She believes humans are wired to feel connected and that we all greatly benefit from healthy relationships. Without this connectedness, we may experience loneliness or isolation. She provides a safe, accepting space for individuals, couples, and families using a positive Existential Therapy Model to support self-awareness, meaningful relationships, and values of life. 

Together with her clients, she helps identify personal strengths, increase self-worth, explores family behavioral patterns and roadblocks to developing healthy relationships. Most important in her therapy practice is to help clients celebrate the freedom of empowerment, healing, and connectedness - all of which she believes leads to personal growth. 

Kimberly has worked with a variety of populations and culturally diverse ethnic groups. She has provided services to clients experiencing attachment injuries, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, high functioning Autism, codependency, grief, marital/family conflict, infidelity, parenting issues, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, women/mens issues, and day-to-day stressors. Kimberly also enjoys providing therapy for other mental health professionals to support self-care and individuation.

Human existence begins and ends with a desire for connectedness. Connectedness forms identity, preserves aspiration, constructs meaning, and models generativity. - Kimberly Whalen
