In today’s stressful environment, Dr. Kim DiRé, who has trained and been certified in multiple disciplinary treatments for trauma healing, has opened her new private practice and office in Scottsdale. 

As touted in local and national media, Dr. DiRé’s trauma healing response model has grown in popularity by referring physicians to individuals seeking her proven therapies. 

DiRé received a doctorate in behavioral health from Arizona State University and has also received a master's in education and counseling. 

“Helping others with their healing journey is the work I love and feel honored to do,” DiRé stated in the release.

She is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a certified somatic experiencing practitioner and is certified in Shapedown and KidShape, two nationally acclaimed childhood obesity programs. 

In 2015, DiRé received a Spirit of Achievement Award from Sierra Tucson for her clinical work in the trauma healing field.

DiRé’s trauma healing therapy approach integrates dialectical behavioral therapy, DBT, and somatic experiencing, SE. 

“By helping people heal and balance their nervous system, our community becomes surrounded with more individuals feeling a sense of well-being and purpose,” DiRé stated. “The feeling of self-regulation is stabilizing and positive to each person’s mental and physical health.”

She creates her own healing technique using tools of attention, intention, awareness and a client’s own levels of resilience. 

Each treatment session is unique and takes place in a non-judgmental and safe environment, or a “healing sanctuary”. 

DiRé works to create a safe client-practitioner relationship to help individuals define and take responsibility for the healing journey.

Recognized as a trauma healing, attachment disorder and eating disorder specialist, DiRé uses DBT as well as SE to help regulate the autonomic nervous systems of all ages from infants, children and adolescents to adults. 

Dysregulation of the nervous system is caused by traumatic experiences such as natural disasters, birth trauma and even the COVID-19 pandemic.

DiRé helps individuals with such trauma by completing self-protective responses that were not completed at the time of trauma by using shifts in the neurological, chemical and physiological complex systems of the body and mind.

This leads to and creates balance and a sense of well-being for a traumatized individual. 

DiRé uses verbal and non-verbal techniques to help regulate the autonomic nervous system as non-verbal trauma can require non-verbal treatment to help an individual heal.
