Hi, I'm Kylie Bader,


Licensed Social Worker

I consider it a privilege to sit with each child, teen, and adult I meet as they navigate the challenges they are facing. My goal is to provide hope, healing, motivation and guidance through the use of client-centered, strengths-based, and evidence-based interventions. When desired, I also may use prayer and Biblical principles to provide encouragement and a clear foundation on which to stand in sessions. I am nationally certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for children and teens 4-18. I specialized in Trauma Across the Lifespan for adults during my Master’s Program at Western Michigan University.  I look forward to meeting you and finding ways to make lasting life changes that are effective and helpful.
