Kimberly K Boatner
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC
Hello. As a clinician, I have committed myself to providing a safe environment for individuals, couples, and families seeking support. My therapeutic philosophy is centered on compassion, resilience, and individual strengths. As a clinician, I am inspired by my client’s process of self-discovery and the courage of using their voice to create change. I feel honored and thankful for the privilege to witness each client’s journey. My approach is eclectic and centers on the unique strengths of each client.
I have been fortunate to work in a number of settings including a residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and within the education field. I feel a great sense of pride as an active member of several committees within the community where I collaborate with other professionals and advocate for clients.
The relationship with each client is the foundation for my practice. This allows for a nurturing and healthy environment where a variety of individual needs are recognized and change begins. I welcome the opportunity to support adolescents, families, couples and individual adults at my Geneva office.
