Welcome to Kimbrough Therapy Services. Therapy is a place to identify and build on current strengths, learn problem solving strategies, develop or enhance coping skills, learn more effective ways to communicate with others, and receive support and feedback. My goal is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment conducive to insight, healing, and personal growth. Your role will be to identify goals that you would like to achieve during the course of therapy and be willing to examine any obstacles and strengths that will either hinder or help you move forward.

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship in which the client and I work together to explore the current problematic issues and develop goals to address these issues. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, adjustment to life issues, and communication and relationships. I work with adults, children (play therapy), teens, couples, and families of all backgrounds. Additionally, I work within your spiritual beliefs to address your issues according to your values. I believe that change occurs through the development of a collaborative working relationship and through changing negative thoughts and behaviors that affect changes in mood.

Let's face it - everyone needs a little help getting through this journey called life. If you have felt this way at one point or another, you are not alone. Counseling is the place where you can get real about yourself and what's going on in your life without judgment or bias. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for clients to fully explore and accept themselves. With a solid counselor-client relationship based on empathy, trust, and understanding, we can collaborate together to identify your strengths as well as explore concerns, challenges and areas for growth.

An ideal client appreciates their goals for wanting something different. They value the fact that the journey may not be easy, but the self-discovery and increased awareness of self and the world around them makes the journey well worth it. An ideal client will value directness, challenges, and a bit of humor in sessions. I am seeking clients that are ready to take responsibility for their part in the therapeutic process, for we are a team. While working together, be prepared to be honest with yourself, show yourself compassion, and most importantly, experience growth no matter the magnitude. It’s up to you to make the first move.
