Hello! My name is Kimberly Broaddus and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2014. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from The University of Pittsburgh (2008). I went on to get my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Waynesburg University (2012). After graduating with my masters I completed 2,000 supervision hours to obtain my licensure as a Professional Counselor (LPC).

Upon starting my career, I began my practicum and internship at a local non-profit agency. At this time, I was hired and worked in a in-home family therapy program for approximately 5 years. It was this experience that provided me with a solid foundation in understanding family systems and how we as individuals are shaped within the system. During this experience, I worked with families and individuals involved in probation, child protective services, and severe mental health struggles throughout Westmoreland, Somerset and Allegheny counties.

Following this position, I transferred to working at the Outpatient Clinic providing both Mental Health and Drug & Alcohol therapy and assessments. During this time I began to also work as an independent contractor at a local private practice.

In 2019 the outpatient clinic closed and I continued to work at the private practice. This is when I ventured out to starting my own practice. My own practice opened up full time in March of 2020.

I am fortunate to be doing the work that I feel that I am meant to do. It is an honor to be a part of the healing journey for others. I will always value having the opportunity to get to know my clients on a deeper level and holding space for all of the events, emotions, struggles, and joys that life can give us. A big thank you to every one of my clients for allowing me to be a part of that.

I am also transparent that I am a therapist that goes to therapy. I believe that it can be easy to teach yet hard to do. I know how challenging it can be to step into a room and sort through your own ‘stuff’. I find my own personal work to be crucial in having compassion and understanding for what the work can feel like. I view therapy as an opportunity to intentionally take care of ourselves emotionally just like we take care of our bodies physically. It is important for me to normalize this. We all enter therapy for various reasons. Also, working on yourself is a cool thing :)
