Kimberly Tiscia, LCSW (She/her)

Staff Therapist

Top values: Openness to new experience, authenticity, enthusiasm, learning

Hello, my name is Kimberly (she/her) and I am a licensed clinical social worker here at DASC! I am looking forward to working with you. I have been working in mental health since completing my education and have experience in a variety of settings including community and home-based mental health care, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice. I have worked with a broad range of ages and mental health diagnoses and I would be honored to be a part of your recovery process from concerns including anxiety disorders, impact of traumatic events, and depression and suicidal ideation.

My approach to therapy is client centered and the most important thing to me is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and valued. I use a warm and personable approach and spend time getting to know you, your history, and your goals. I understand that every client has different needs and preferred communication style, so I encourage my clients to give me feedback about their needs and their experiences while meeting with me. I am a proponent of evidence-based treatments offered at DASC including ACT, DBT, and CBT among others and want to ensure that you can find the treatment modality that works best for you!

Outside of work, I enjoy reading and browsing bookstores; hiking and spending time in nature; listening to music and seeing live music; and watching re-runs of various sitcoms.

Bachelor of Social Work- University of St. Francis, 2016
Master of Social Work, Mental Health Concentration- Loyola University Chicago, 2017

Insurance Accepted: BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, United/Optum, Medicare, Sliding Scale when Applicable
