Kimberly Giller is a licensed Master of Social Work with a focus on helping individuals navigate challenges related to depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. She holds a Master's degree from Syracuse University, where she began her career as an integrated treatment therapist, working in both mental health and substance abuse.

​After taking time to focus on her family, Kimberly is excited to return to her passion of helping others. She operates from a strengths-based perspective, believing that a diagnosis does not define a person. Her approach is rooted in the idea that changing our thoughts can change our behavior and that trauma remains in the body until healing can occur.

​When she's not working, Kimberly enjoys spending time outdoors and is committed to lifelong learning.
