Kim Johancen, MA, LPC
Brainspotting Consultant and EMDR Certified Therapist
Kim Johancen is a therapist, consultant, and national presenter with over 30 years of experience specializing in trauma-informed care. After losing her brother to suicide at 16, Kim dedicated her life to helping others heal from trauma and rediscover their capacity for hope.
Over the decades, Kim has walked alongside teens, adults, and families impacted by suicide loss, self-injury, partner abuse, and sexual trauma. Her work is grounded in compassion and guided by neuroscience—helping people understand how the mind and body store pain, and how healing becomes possible when both are addressed.
Certified in both EMDR and Brainspotting, Kim now specializes in working with women and helping professionals who want to move beyond survival and reconnect with their strength, clarity, and purpose. Her approach blends deep attunement, practical tools, and a belief that growth is always possible—even in the wake of profound loss.
Kim is the founder and Clinical Director of Clear View Counseling & Consulting, a trauma-informed group practice in Denver offering Brainspotting and EMDR. Through her intensives, retreats, and trainings, Kim creates spaces where healing feels both attainable and sustainable—where the nervous system can reset, and the brain (and mind) can heal.
Helping people move from survival to transformation through compassion, neuroscience, and embodied healing.
