Kim Skelton

Central to my therapeutic approach lies a philosophical foundation grounded in existential and humanistic principles. I'm deeply committed to helping my clients navigate the complexities of their lives by facilitating the exploration of meaning and the integration of past adversities. In today's world, characterized by significant political and ecological challenges, I guide individuals towards radical acceptance and resilience. Together, we confront the realities of our current challenges while also acknowledging their place within the interconnected web of existence. My goal is to support clients in embracing both the profound beauty and the inherent struggles of being alive without succumbing to despair. I draw upon a diverse array of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, harm reduction psychotherapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. Each client receives personalized attention as we collaboratively devise a treatment plan tailored to their unique strengths, needs, and preferences. As I eagerly anticipate potential FDA approval of MDMA-assisted therapy, I look forward to incorporating this innovative approach into the therapeutic offerings at Widening Circles. Together, we'll continue to explore new avenues for healing and growth on the path towards greater well-being and understanding.
