How can teletherapy work? How can you provide care remotely?

Hello! I'm a passionate and experienced Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) running my own private practice, Feel Better & Co., since January 2024. My journey in healthcare has taken me across various roles and locations, allowing me to gain diverse experience in both mental and physical health care. I started as a Registered Nurse, working in renowned institutions like the Cleveland Clinic-Akron General, and took on travel assignments in California, Virginia, Washington DC, New Jersey, New York, and even Hawaii. I’ve worked in Med/Surg Telemetry, stepdown units, ICU, and on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of patient care and the varied needs across different healthcare environments. I advanced my career with a Master's focused on psychiatric and mental health and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice. As an NP, I’ve worked across Washington, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Ohio, serving patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings, from community health centers to psychiatric units and urgent care. Currently, I provide telehealth services in California and Washington, making mental health support more accessible. I also have the pleasure of working alongside the wonderful therapy group, Empower, in Poland, Ohio, where we collaborate to provide comprehensive and compassionate care. My approach is always centered on you, the patient. I believe in taking the time to understand your unique story and creating a care plan that truly fits your needs. I'm here to help you on your journey to better mental health and well-being. Let’s take that first step together

You want to thrive and trust yourself, but it feels like an impossible task. Don't you wish you had the tools to change that? You've come to the right place. I'm Kimberly, and I help women and teens just like you: ones that have it within them to feel confident, secure, and thrive, but just need the support to get there. I help my clients find confidence, fulfillment, and values by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and thrive. Many of today's solutions for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are changing negative thoughts, leading many to feel misunderstood and like they are not making real progress. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I help you gain introspection by tailoring therapy to you, and always with an end goal in mind. My training in anxiety and depression means, y I have the expertise you need and deserve when feeling confident about yourself. But at the end of the day, you want to know you are working with someone who "gets" what it means to be a teen or woman struggling with anxiety and depression right? I get it because I have lived it myself. I know that sometimes you just want to quit. So when we work together, you won't just get a trained therapist, you'll get someone who truly understands what you are going through.

I have a passion for helping people that struggle with substance abuse issues (i.e. drugs and alcohol). I assist my clients in finding their true selves by teaching them to learn how to cope with and resolve their anxieties, depressions and traumas. I have experience working with both the adult and youth population. I aide my clients in identifying their strengths and motivations, and how to use them to maintain long term sobriety. I have a Masters Degree in Addiction Counseling. I also have a PhD in General Psychology with an emphasis in integrated behavioral health (where physical and mental health needs meet in the middle). I am also trained in Trauma Therapy to help those that struggle from a past traumatic experience that may be impeding their sobriety. If you or a loved one struggles from a substance abuse problem, reach out to me. I'm happy to give a brief consultation on how I can assist you at this time of need.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice, specializing in depression and anxiety. I will work with you to achieve your goals for therapy. I'm here to help.

My name is Kim Kriks and I am the practice owner and clinical therapist at Hopeful Humans Counseling. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Sociology with a minor in Applied Behavioral Science from the University of Kansas. I furthered my education by earning a master's degree in Social Work and PEL endorsement from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My main focus in my clinical practice is providing counseling for children under 10 years old, working with adolescents, and offering parenting support. Additionally, I have received training in women's issues and perinatal mental health. Before establishing Hopeful Humans Counseling, I served as the clinical director and therapist for six years at a private practice located in Downers Grove, IL and New Lenox, IL. I  also have a decade of experience as a school social worker, working with children of all ages, including those in early childhood programs and early intervention programs. My therapeutic approach is primarily influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systems Theory. I strongly believe that families have the best understanding of their own situation, and I am there to offer guidance and strategies during challenging times. Outside of counseling others, I enjoy canoe camping in the Boundary Waters and going on bike rides with my husband and son to the local farmer's market.

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma, women’s issues, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues, and personality disorders. I also work with couples to improve communication, develop healthy conflict-resolution skills, and create a long-term family vision and mission that restores harmony in everyday life. I believe psychoeducation and a personalized mental health care plan empower clients to make lasting changes quickly. I create a unique treatment plan for each client with specific, measurable goals. I use therapeutic breathwork, CBT, and DBT to help clients quickly reduce symptoms while evaluating emotional and behavioral patterns that may require longer-term therapy. I approach personality disorders, attachment dysfunction, and identity confusion from a developmental and psychodynamic perspective and have experience treating borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders. I earned my B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, and after a career as a business executive, returned to school in 2020, earning a Master of Science degree in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University. I am an alumna of the national women’s leadership academy, Leadership America, and was selected in 2015 to be a patient advocate for the National Center for Healthcare Research in Washington, D.C. I am a writer, public speaker, and patient-first healthcare activist, and have published many written works about the dangers of using pharmaceuticals and medical devices cleared (not fully approved) through the FDA's lax 510k marketing process. I enjoy gardening, all forms of creativity and self-expression, love to learn, and believe that where there is humor, there is healing. My husband and I live in Central Texas and enjoy camping with our two dogs and parakeet. We have two adult sons and three granddaughters and believe in the restoration of family relationships as a path to well-being.
