"Our Marriage was on the Rocks"
Kim helped us save our marriage. She gave us so many things to try. Now we’re kinder to each other and have stopped arguing. Thank you so much, Kim!
Welcome to my website! My name is Kim Alberts and I’m a registered nurse and counselor with over 30-years experience in chemical dependency, mental health issues, trauma, and in private practice working with adults and adolescents.
I have worked in emergency rooms, in-patient mental health units, chemical dependency units, and in private practice working with adults and adolescents.
During this time, I have treated hundreds of patients suffering from dual diagnosis – substance dependence and mental illness problems, clients experiencing the effects of drugs and alcohol, and with the families that are also experiencing similar issues.
I have a Masters degree in Health Science in Addictions from Governors State University and am a Certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC), a Registered Dual Diagnosis Professional (RDDP), and a Certified Addiction Registered Nurse (CARN).
