Welcome!
I am glad you are here in this space. It takes courage to reach out for help and you have just taken a courageous step. I want you to know that even if we don’t journey together through therapy, you are worth fighting for! Don’t give up that fight for your well-being. You don’t have to walk it alone.
Know that with me all of you is welcome, your anger, your shame, your depression, your anxiety, your sorrow, your trauma, your joys, and delights, all of you.
I bring my real self to sessions and not just a role of being “Counselor Kim.” This brings an ease to sessions. Sessions feel more comfortable and less clinical. They are authentic and connecting. We can laugh, cry, throw things, move, sing, or sit in quiet. Whatever we do, we do it together based on what you need.
SOAR comes from a Hebrew word that carries the idea of bringing something for the purpose of causing IT to grow, to rise up, and to soar. The IT is you and the something I bring is respect, listening well, acceptance and years of experience I have gained through life, parenting, relationships, and training to help you SOAR. I consider it a sacred privilege to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
I am here if you need,
Kim
About the Name ‘Soar’
The name Soar Counseling occurred when I was in my backyard doodling with my non-dominant hand. I doodled a bird and underneath wrote the word SOAR but because it was with my left hand it looked like the word scar. Immediately I became aware that the difference between scar and soar was when the letter c was closed into the letter o.
What this spoke to me was that the healing of scars could cause others to soar. The vision of Soar Counseling was born. Soar Counseling exists to bring hope and healing in a supportive safe counseling space for people. Its mission is to bring the healing full circle.
