"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working with a wide range of clients. I have extensive training working with children and teenagers and have worked with families in the Greater Memphis Area for over 10 years. I have a unique insight that allows clients to best express their needs and work towards their individual goals. "

"I understand how life's situations can bring about feelings of anger, frustration, anxiety, hopelessness, and self-doubt. You may even feel alone, inadequate, or simply misunderstood. If this is the case and you seek emotional support to appropriately cope with emotions and restore well-being, definitely consider talking to me, Kimery Irby, LCSW (the peacemaker). I view life's challenges as opportunities for growth. My unique and compassionate approach to therapy will allow for you to make positive changes, obtain a new perspective, and put together the pieces of your life."

"I am passionate about helping gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients in a variety of areas. I often help clients build and maintain healthy relationships, work through depression, stress, or anxiety, navigate relationships with less accepting family or friends, deal with difficulties surrounding coming out, overcome sexual challenges, and manage shame, discrimination and stigma. I frequently write letters of support for transgender or gender non-conforming individuals who wish to gain access to hormone replacement therapy or surgeries."

"With a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and over 16 years of counseling experience, I can help you get through life's trials and tribulations. I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in stress, grief, depression, anxiety, suicide prevention, chronic management illness, crises management, as well as in coping skills in both adolescents and adults. My expertise is a combination of professional and personal skills that can help any person tackle unexpected life crisis. I have experience in couples counseling, family counseling, group counseling, and career counseling."

"Feeling stuck? Hit a snag in your life? Do you find yourself going in circles and doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results? If so, I can help. Everyone experiences bumps in their life in which they are not able to maneuver past on their own. It’s okay, we have all been there. Everyone deserves to heal and to better their overall well-being - whether it’s healing from depression, addiction, a mood or personality disorder, trauma or anxiety. Each client and presenting issue is unique, and I treat each as so. "

"I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma-informed therapy and care, including PTSD in adolescents and adults. PTSD may include symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks, suicidal ideations, startled responses, and self-harming tendencies. My approach includes experiential therapies, such as EMDR and psychodrama techniques, as well as traditional talk therapy."

"Everyone eventually comes upon a life situation that confuses or distresses them. I believe that is part of the human condition. Whether it be situational anxiety or depression, trauma, mental illness or addiction, nobody gets through life without experiencing something. These life events serve as wake up calls to help us make changes and live a more fulfilling life. It is helpful to have someone to navigate new territory with, someone who has been there themselves, to help find a better way. And that's what I am here to help you do, find a better way that leads to a more fulfilling life."

"Adolescents present unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. After almost 30 years experience working with this population, there aren't many situations I haven't encountered. There is always reason for hope and what your therapist expects influences the outcomes. As a behavioral optimist, I approach clients I work with believing that no one wants to be miserable. We all want to reach our potential, as children, adolescents, parents, families, members of a community. Every living, breathing person, whatever their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or place in life, is capable of change. That is a firm belief of mine."

"“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”-Pema Chodran. Everyone is in search of happiness. We all have a desire to be whole, healthy, and thriving. All of us face different challenges in this life, my goal is work collaboratively with you to help you create the life in which you want to live.Real transformation takes place in the pain or suffering and it is in this place that we are motivated to look for answers."
