Kim Nowak
LCSW | Clinical Therapist
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, including OCD. I also work with clients struggling with depression, experiencing grief, and going through various life adjustments. I treat clients using various treatment approaches, and rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Prolonged Exposure, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Background
I am a career changer, entering the field in 2018 after several years as a stay at home mom. Prior to being home with my family, I had careers in case management and human resources. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from University of Illinois and a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I have four years of experience working at the partial hospitalization (PHP) level of care, and I spent the last three years working in an outpatient setting. In my free time, you can find me cheering on my teenage kids playing sports, streaming a ridiculous amount of television, or squeezing in a workout.
