Kimberly Schmidt Bevans (she/her), is a licensed therapist serving the Greater Boston area and Massachusetts via telehealth. She helps high-achieving, deep-feeling women just like you— women feeling overwhelmed, not good enough, exhausted, worried and stuck.
Kim can help you feel more present, joyful and calm. You can learn how to weather life’s storms for the long haul.
Kim uses somatic and expressive therapy to re-connect the mind and body. These approaches allow you to access deeply held patterns that can’t be reached through talking alone. For example, Kim can help you move out of freeze response, learn to regulate your nervous system, and tone your Vagus Nerve.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is also offered to reprocess traumatic memories so the events of the past reduce their intrusive hold on your present and future.
Kim is passionate about helping deep-feeling, highly-motivated women who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and low-self esteem. Her uniquely tailored body-centered approach incorporates breath work, mindful movement, grounding exercises, thought reframing, and expressive exploration.
As a licensed, body-focused therapist, Kim can help you achieve a fulfilling life, develop deeper interpersonal connections, and work through difficult emotions like worries, ‘shoulds,’ and shame.
Kim will help you explore what’s currently holding you back so you can gain clarity and reach your goals. Throughout the therapy process, Kim will help you tap into your unique strengths, heal the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck, care for your nervous system, and reconnect with your whole self.
The best version of you is ready to come alive!
Kim's practice is open to people of any gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic or racial background.
