Kim Kriesel, MSC, LPC
MEET OUR PERINATAL THERAPIST
Arizona native Kim Kriesel is passionate about helping women and families who are experiencing challenges on their family building journey. In addition to a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, Kim has advanced training, experience, and expertise in the areas of infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, pregnancy trauma, and loss.
She is certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and recognized as a member of the Mental Health Professional Group (MHPG) through the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). Additionally, she has served her community as a member of the Crisis Response Team for Chandler Fire Department and as a Postpartum Support International (PSI) AZ Chapter Board Member.
Although Kim and her husband are now parents to two healthy young teens, the couple struggled with infertility and had devastating losses along the way. In overcoming her own grief and transitioning to a place of peace and acceptance, her passion now lies in helping those who are also experiencing infertility and loss. She knows the challenges, desperation, anxiety, sadness and isolation firsthand that accompany an infertility journey.
In working with her clients, Kim exudes warmth, deep understanding, unwavering support and a unique way of bringing understanding, positive perspective and resolution to situations that can seem unbearably sad.
In her time away from work, Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and children, reading, traveling and taking the occasional trip to the spa.
She looks forward to helping all women (and potential parents) reach a healthy and positive mental state that will propel them forward to the best possible place as they pursue pregnancy and parenthood.
