Our Counselors and Staff

Brianne Topmiller, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR trained therapist and a registered child custody mediator with the Idaho Supreme Court. I have been a social worker for over 15 years and work with children (ages 8 and above), adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach towards therapy is client centered and trauma informed. I focus on relationship issues as they exist within the contexts of dating, marriage, divorce and family systems (childhood). I also focus on issues of trauma and work with individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. EMDR is a tool to help individuals to heal from trauma or other difficult life experiences.

Kimberly Morin, LPC

Hello, my name is Kimberly Morin.

This journey we all are on is not an easy one. Some may face greater challenges than others. Some will feel stronger at times than others. No matter where you are on this journey, we all need someone to come alongside us to help us from time to time. There are times when we need someone to help us through life decisions, relationship issues, parenting, teen years, and, unfortunately, trauma. I am a licensed Professional Christian Counselor and a licensed Professional school counselor. I graduated with my Master's from Liberty University and my Bachelor’s from Barclay College. God has placed a gift in me to walk through life with others, to listen and help as they work and process through things in their life.

I believe there are four areas in our life that need attention: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. I practice from a Christian perspective when the client welcomes it. Over the past 20 years, I have walked alongside women, teens, and couples through spiritual coaching. Now as a licensed counselor, I am able to walk alongside you to help with more resources. I have been trained in a variety of modalities, because no single approach works for everyone. I often refer to Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT) as well as Solution-Focused therapy, but I am willing to find what works best for you.

Healing through Honesty

“Trauma breaks life into pieces. When those pieces become reorganized around the person and work of Jesus, a new story begins to emerge.”
