Kim Johnson-Smith, MSW, LISW-S is a Clinical Social Worker specializing in the treatment of PTSD. This includes developmental and complex trauma, traumatic loss, single incident trauma, and dissociative disorders in adults. Addressing attachment and relational issues is often interwoven in this work. Traumatic experience often manifests in the development of a wide array of psychological and physiological conditions that can limit one's capacity to be fully engaged and present in life. Effective trauma treatment is a journey that is often best served with an integrated approach. Kim graduated in 1999 with a master's degree in clinical social work from Loyola University Chicago and was trained from a psychodynamic perspective. She often utilizes this perspective in addition to cognitive approaches, DBT, mindfulness training, and ego state work. She has been certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy since 2020 and is currently a consultant-in-training through EMDRIA. EMDR therapy is an effective and integrative approach that helps individuals overcome the adverse implications of trauma to create a greater sense of wellbeing and wholeness.

We are continuously unlearning and relearning and are excited to do our part in providing a platform for community conversations.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based approach that utilizes an eight-phase protocol to address past memories, present triggers and future events. The therapy supports the processing of thoughts, memories and emotions that have become “stuck” in the brain’s memory due to stressful event(s). Effective treatment decreases body responses to trauma reminders, and supports shifts in positive thinking related to stressful life events.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
