Hello. I hope that you recognize the strength that it has taken to take this first step.

I have worked in mental health and substance use disorders for over 25 years. I am here to help you on your journey.

I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.

With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board-Certified (PMHNP-BC) with experience in mental health care since 2016. I earned my psychiatric certification in 2019 and have dedicated my practice to helping individuals navigate a wide range of mental health concerns with compassion, respect, and clinical expertise.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and I have been working in the field since 2019. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients but especially young adults struggling with navigating anxiety, depression, ptsd, marriage and family issues. I also enjoy incorporating faith based counseling at the client's request. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients find solutions and build skills that create lasting change in their live.

Great day to you! I am Kim Rodgers, LICSW (15yrs.). To complete my Master’s of Social Work Degree, I served as a school counselor for grades K-9. Since then, I have worked in Corrections, the Homeless Department and the Vet Center (within the Federal Government), in a Behavioral Health Hospital, and in Community Health. I have a great deal of “outreach work” experience, both personally and professionally.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that life is made up of moments that are both big and small, and therapy is a safe place to process the thoughts and emotions that go with those moments.

I provide Couple Therapy to help reconnect, feel close again, and move beyond repetitive arguments by getting to the deeper hurt and needs beneath the conflict. Individual Therapy for adults 21+ who are healing after emotionally harmful relationships and want to move toward healthier love, trust, and connection. This work often requires support for anxiety, depression, past emotional wounds, and the painful patterns that can make it hard to feel safe in relationships.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience providing psychiatric care. I believe mental health care should feel personalized, respectful, and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported while working together toward meaningful improvements in your mental health and overall well-being.
