Therapists Beginning With D in Kentucky

I strive to help clients achieve their personal goals and gain greater insight in to their lives. I assist clients in developing self-understanding and self-awareness and help them build self-confidence and self-esteem. I help clients to recognize, understand, and work through difficulties. I encourage clients to resolve problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and relationship issues. I impart skills and facilitate learning opportunities in a confidential and supportive environment where clients can share and explore their concerns.

As someone who’s been both the client and the counselor, I recognize that asking for help is the first step towards healing, and often the most difficult. As such, it is of paramount importance my clients feel heard, but more importantly, understood. In session, I utilize a narrative approach, with elements of CBT, mindfulness, and expressive arts. Along with experience treating anxiety and depression, I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA community, as well as helping clients process grief and loss.

I work with individuals, families, couples, and adolescents facing tough challenges, transitions, and growth opportunities. I have 12 years in practice with experience treating general mental health issues, substance abuse, co-dependency, and trauma. I work from a solution-focused, person-centered approach and address not only the individual in therapy, but their family unit or family of choice. I believe that individuals have the strength to create meaningful change in their lives, and as a helping professional, I offer support, facilitate and witness that change in a positive, friendly and collaborative way.

My name is Kimberly. I am a graduate from Western Kentucky University. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Social Work in 2021. I welcome anyone that walks through the door with no judgment and open arms. I want to help you during this time in your life and I intend to help you reach your goals and help you grow. I practice a very person-centered, strength-based approach. This is your issue, need, or goal. You are driving the car. I am just in the passenger seat with a map ready to guide you.

Areas of Clinical Focus - I guide individuals, couples and families in the counseling process to work through problems with relationships: marriage/divorce/separation, dating again, parenting, and women's issues. I was raised in the military, during Vietnam War, have a son in the Coast Guard who was in the Pentagon during 9/11, and an ex-wife of a Vietnam Era Veteran. I have many years of experience working with all branches of the military.

My ideal client is one who does not feel/believe things may never get better with whatever circumstance they are dealing. I have provided services to children age 4 to 18, their families and adults.I always believe my clients lives and well-being will improve, this is my motivation and passion. I am best suited to deal with depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mood disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and reactive attachment disorder.

I am practicing as an Adult and Child/Adolescent Psychoanalyst Candidate under the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. Since 2003 my work experience includes a diverse range of trauma; military, sexual, childhood, domestic violence, as well as a variety of mental health and behavioral challenges. I have served in nursing homes, school systems, psychiatric hospital, Department of Defense in Child Adolescent Psychiatry Services, Adult Behavioral Health, and the Family Advocacy Program. I enjoy working with children, families, soldiers, and individuals to help them to reach their goals by overcoming the challenges that we all face.

I became a therapist to help others. More importantly, to assist others in learning to help themselves. This is especially true with adolescents, young adults and their families. We can often be both the reasons for and products of poorly functioning family environments. I enjoy getting to know teens, adults and families as we identify their shared goals and needs. My best days come when clients and families laugh more than they cry, love more than they fight and succeed more than they struggle. With better knowledge, skills and communication, we can create more positive environments for yourselves and others
