Professional Counselor

Trauma Therapist Kim Civitarese
  • Cognitive Processing Therapist (CPT)
    Pre-licensed Clinician

Experience working with children, adolescents, couples, the elderly population, blended families, and families in the adoption process.

Thank you for your interest in my bio! I have wanted to be a therapist since I was a little kid. I received my BA in Psychology at the University of Delaware and began working at Caron Treatment Centers in Wernersville, PA shortly thereafter. I went back to school while still working at Caron and received my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kutztown University.

I am an official CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for PTSD provider and am trained in EMDR. I also have training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and have my CAADC (Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor). I have been in the field for over 8 years and a therapist for over 5. I hold my LPC with the State of PA and am continuously seeking additional training and research.

My specialties include trauma, addiction, personality disorders, anxiety, and attachment/relationships.

I love what I do and try to bring a sense of humor and irreverence to my work.
