Alicia Kimball

Sometimes, life feels really hard. It can be scary to think about trying to do something new when we are not feeling at our best. We can feel stressed about spend time with people we care about because we don't really want them to know how we are feeling. Our emotions can feel so intense they are all consuming, and we just aren't sure we have the energy to put on a face when we don't really feel that happy or calm. You don't have to keep hiding behind your mask of being ok. Alicia can help. Alicia is currently accepting new clients. Alicia is a licensed clinical social worker, board-certified dance/movement therapist and graduate Laban certified movement analyst. She has experience working with children and families in DCFS, adults in inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs, individual and group outpatient therapy as well as members of the LGBTQIAA community. Alicia graduated with a bachelors in Sociology and Spanish from North Central College in Naperville. She then continued on to receive her Masters in Social Work from University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as her Alternate Route Dance/Movement Therapy Certificate and Graduate Laban Certified Movement Analyst certificate from Columbia College in Chicago. Alicia has a client focused approach to therapy, where she often utilizes a variety of therapeutic modalities such as strengths based therapy, solutions focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dance/movement therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. She also helps clients to identify healthy relationship qualities and techniques to support them in their path to wellness. In Alicia’s sessions, she often utilizes compassion, openness, acceptance, and caring with her clients. She gives them permission to feel comfortable as the person they are and support them in growing in whichever direction is best for their lives right now. She believes it is her job as a therapist to support clients in exploring what will help them to be healthiest in their lives. She also supports clients in identifying how they can continue to work towards their well-being in their lives outside of the therapy session.
