EMDR THERAPY

Kim Van Wuffen, LPC,CCTSF, CCTSS,

About me

My name is Kim, and I have over 20 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. My primary area of specialization is trauma, with a strong focus on utilizing the evidence-based approach of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in the treatment of trauma. I hold certifications in trauma and consider the neurophysiology of trauma to be one of my areas of expertise.

In addition to trauma-focused work, I provide clinical supervision for licensed associate counselors in Arizona, offering guidance, professional development, and support in clinical practice. I also offer ADHD and brain health coaching, helping individuals better understand how the brain functions while developing practical strategies to improve focus, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

My therapeutic style is person-centered, empowering, and solution-focused. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel both encouraged and appropriately challenged in their growth. If you are navigating trauma-related concerns or other mental health challenges and are seeking effective, evidence-based support, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey. Together, we can work toward meaningful progress, increased resilience, and lasting change. I currently work with adults 18 +.

I am committed to providing compassionate, ethical, and effective clinical supervision and therapeutic services grounded in best practices.

My Approach

My approach to clinical supervision is grounded in a commitment to fostering professional growth, clinical excellence, and ethical practice. I invite ALL therapists and therapeutic approaches into clinical supervision. I strive to create a supportive and structured environment that promotes both skill development and self-reflection.

Key elements of my supervision approach include:

  • Accessibility and a Trusting, Supportive Relationship: I cultivate a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where supervisees feel comfortable exploring clinical challenges, uncertainties, and areas of vulnerability. 
  • Effective Communication and Active Listening: I provide clear, constructive feedback while engaging in collaborative dialogue to ensure a thorough understanding of the supervisee’s perspective. 
  • Clinical Competence and Expertise: I maintain current knowledge of evidence-based practices, therapeutic modalities, and ethical standards to support high-quality clinical care. 
  • Balanced Feedback (Support and Challenge): I offer validation and encouragement while also promoting growth by thoughtfully challenging supervisees to expand their clinical skills and professional insight. 
  • Professional Role Modeling: I demonstrate ethical practice, self-awareness, and professionalism, serving as a model for clinical integrity and reflective practice. 
  • Commitment to Ongoing Growth: I encourage lifelong learning, self-care, and continued professional development to sustain both competence and well-being. 
  • Structured, Goal-Oriented Mentorship: I establish clear expectations and provide consistent, organized, and developmentally appropriate supervision tailored to each supervisee’s needs
