Kym Saunders, MA, LGSW

Hello, my name is Kym! I’m a Licensed Graduate Social Worker in Minnesota, originally from central Minnesota and now proud to call the Duluth area home. I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work (2016) and Master of Social Work (2017) degrees from the University of Minnesota Duluth.

My passion lies in creating a calm, supportive space where individuals feel safe to explore life’s challenges, identify their strengths, and work toward personal growth. I believe in the power of connection and strive to foster a non-judgmental, welcoming environment for every client I meet.

In my practice, I draw on a strengths-based perspective while incorporating both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral techniques (CBT) to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship concerns, and other personal challenges. 

Whether you're dealing with current stressors or working through longer-term struggles, my goal is to provide a soft-landing place where you feel heard and empowered.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, traveling, and relaxing at our cabin—activities that help me recharge and stay grounded.
