Kimberly (Fischer) Leslie, M.A., LMHC
Kim is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in private practice since 2010. Rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus, she uses various approaches in her work from Narrative Therapy / Story Work, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic teachings. She aims to come along side of her clients in a way that helps them to discover and move toward who God created him/her to be through the building connections with self, others and God. She personally knows the transformational power of being deeply seen and heard by compassionate witnesses and longs to help others in this way and be a part of creating faith-based communities where this is practiced often.
Kim is a lover of Jesus, people and all living things. She enjoys learning how to fix things, anything outdoors, and meaningful connections and conversations. As a breast cancer survivor, she is grateful for another chance to make the world a little bit better and walk with those she counsels.
