Kiley Fields

Hello,

My Name is Kiley, I’m a licensed master social worker. I’ve worked at a local community mental health for almost 9 years now. During my time here I’ve played many roles within the agency including providing therapy. I’m currently in a management role with the agency and I miss providing direct services, hence why I’m now here providing therapy on the side. I have experience with a gambit of diagnosis including depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disabilities. While obtaining my MSW I also interned with a substance abuse clinic and provided individual and group therapy to those struggling substance use disorders.

I tend to lean towards CBT as my main modality, however is it’s not my sole modality used. I’ve also found behavior and what drives it interesting, hence my interest in CBT and how to alter the behaviors through altering thought process. I spent a period of time providing behavioral plans to individuals with problematic behaviors and utilized CBT as well as behavior analysis frequently in that role.

I strive to make therapy as comfortable as possible for everyone and providing a judgement free zone. Usually when you turn to therapy you’re already anxious, the idea of spilling your thoughts to a stranger is not easy, so I try to reduce those anxieties as much as possible. I’m also not a super structured formal person, I tend to take a laid back approach to therapy and try to let clients lead the way.

Some personal information about me is that I am Michigan based, have lived here my whole
life. I enjoy spending time with my family and pets. I’m a huge animal person, we have 4 dogs, 3 cats, countless chickens, geese, and ducks, as well as 2 emu. Both my husband and one of my daughters have a diagnosis of ADHD, so I have lived experience in finding ways to help them manage their struggles with this in addition to learning how to adapt to meet their needs. I also struggle with social anxiety at times, so I can relate to those that face that as well.
