What Is NARM®?
I practice using The NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®); an approach to therapy designed for the treatment of complex trauma, developmental trauma, and longstanding patterns of disconnection.
Rather than focusing on what is "wrong" with you, NARM helps you understand the adaptive strategies that once helped you survive and may now be limiting your life.
Together, we explore these adaptations with curiosity rather than judgment, allowing new experiences of connection, regulation, and choice to emerge.

About Your Therapist
Kim Fry, LMFT-S, is a Level 1 NARM®-Informed Professional who is completing the NARM® Level 2 Therapist Training and will continue into the Level 3 Master's Training in 2027. She has pursued advanced education in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)®, an evidence-informed approach designed to address the lasting effects of complex trauma and developmental experiences.
Kim integrates NARM® with her existing areas of clinical focus including, but not limited to: eating disorders, body image, and relational healing to help adults move beyond survival patterns and cultivate greater authenticity, self-compassion, and connection. Rather than focusing on reliving the past, her work explores how early experiences continue to shape present-day patterns, creating opportunities for lasting change through increased awareness, nervous system regulation, and deeper connection with oneself.
