About Kimberly Ledwa

I offer a balanced perspective in mental wellness for individuals, couples, and families. With over 20 years of experience in Idaho's mental health field in a wide range of settings (residential treatment, community mental health, alternative school, public school, outpatient substance abuse treatment), I have worked clients from ages three to late seventies using Adlerian talk therapy, art therapy, play therapy, and bibliotherapy (books and other written materials). This has provided me with the experience in effectively assisting you in resolving a broad range of challenges. 

From the beginning, I learn about your strengths, goals, beliefs, and current circumstances. I encourage you to ask questions to learn more about how I help, what counseling can be, and the different options you have to improve whatever challenges you, your family, or your relationship faces. There are many ways to approach the process of gaining awareness and removing barriers that keep us from reaching our potential. 

You are the expert on your life, and I can guide you through the process of counseling to meet your goals. This collaborative process is created according to your needs and will be modified as your needs change. Whether you have past counseling experiences or have no idea what to expect, our plan will focus on what will help you. You can thrive, not just survive. Are you ready?
