Kimberly Kolarik

Kimberly Kolarik, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who provides therapy to adults and families in Illinois and is also licensed in Indiana. With 15 years of experience in clinical practice, she supports clients facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, career difficulties, OCD, and ADHD. She also has experience helping people who have lived through trauma and emotional abuse, as well as those navigating major life transitions, divorce and separation, blended family dynamics, and ongoing health-related stressors such as chronic pain, illness, or disability.

Her style is warm, engaged, and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Kimberly avoids stigmatizing labels and instead focuses on understanding each person within the context of their experiences, strengths, and goals. She draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, integrating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive approaches to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and improve communication and relationships.

Kimberly tailors each conversation and treatment plan to fit the client’s unique needs. She recognizes that reaching out for support can take courage, and she aims to provide steady encouragement as clients take meaningful steps toward change and a more fulfilling life.
