Bio
Kim Crutcher is a licensed psychotherapist (LCPC) with a degree in pastoral counseling from Loyola University Chicago’s Institute of Pastoral Studies (MAPC). Ordained to the Interfaith Ministry through the New Seminary, (NY, NY), Kim brings a uniquely holistic perspective to mental health care that addresses the intersections between the body, the spirit and the mind. She offers space keeping, communal healing, critical incident response and wellness education to small groups and businesses as well as maintaining a small private practice psychotherapy practice in Chicago.
Her work is informed by her background in theater as a director and creator, (BFA, Theatre & Dance, University of Memphis); her journey as a community herbalist, and most importantly her time work as a classroom teacher for students across the life span. Kim is committed to supporting individuals and communities in processes of transformation using trauma-informed protocols; evidence-based interventions; and traditional and folk methods. A love of language, practices of compassion, and a deep belief that (to quote the writer Alice Walker) “anything we love can be saved” inspire Kim. In addition to her work as a counselor, Kim is the Conductor of the Herbalism Apprenticeship program with Urban Growers Collective, and a long term artistic associate with MPAACT Theatre.
