About

Hi, my name is Kavi Branham!  I have been practicing counseling in Idaho since 2015.  I believe that each individual brings personal strengths, assets, and resources to the table which will be the biggest factors in one's self-discovery, growth, development/improvement, and emotional/mental healing. As a counselor, I am grateful for the opportunity to be a guide, support, and "helper" in this process! I seek to provide a comfortable and safe therapeutic environment where trust and rapport can be established with my clients as a foundation for change and improvement.

I am proud of my education with my undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho (where I studied Child Development and Marriage and Family Studies) and my graduate degree from Northwest Nazarene University in Advanced Clinical Counseling.  My education certainly was helpful in preparing me to become a counselor but I also keep up on training and counseling skills development yearly.  Since becoming a counselor, I have come to realize how many individuals are impacted by trauma in various forms and made the decision to get specialized training for trauma treatment.  I am trained in EMDR therapy from an EMDRIA-approved training program. EMDR is a well-researched approach which evidences long-term relief and healing from trauma and can be achieved in a relatively short time period. I also utilize EMDR therapy for recent trauma (RTEP) and group trauma (GTEP).  For more information about EMDR, please click here.

In addition to EMDR, I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).   I offer experience with children, adolescents, adults, and couples working with the following challenges/issues: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, stress, anger management, grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse,  parenting, & relational/communication issues. 

I have over 10 years of experience in training and facilitating workshops and various trainings in Idaho and around the United States at local and national conferences as well as educational and skill-based workshops/series of workshops.  I value contributing to connections that individuals can have with each other in these settings and seek to provide an engaging, productive, yet fun learning experience for attendees of the workshops and trainings I provide!

I am also a certified supervisor in the state of Idaho to provide clinical supervision for any counselors/therapists who may be working towards the terminal/clinical license.
