I am so excited that you are considering therapy, whether it is your first time or you are returning! It is such a strength to recognize when you may benefit from additional support and have the courage to ask for help. Many of the clients I work with sometimes struggle to see their own strengths and need help navigating personal challenges standing in the way of achieving their goals.

Kimberly Powers, LMHC, has been effectively supporting patients with developing self-awareness and emotion regulation through the use of Dialectical behavior therapy and the warm glow of the computer screen. Patients use their new periods of calm to direct their movement toward values-based and actionable goals and improve their lives. My clients are motivated to learn about themselves in an accepting and well-boundaried space that emphasizes non-judgmental self-assessment and learning.

I provide psychological services to help children lead meaningful and vibrant lives. Disruptive behaviors, changes in the family structure, traumatic experiences and developmental issues are some of many challenges families are faced with. As children mature to a new stage of development their needs change and parents need to respond in a way to continue to foster the child's physical, social, and emotional well-being. I offer individual, parent-child (dyadic), group, and individual parent consultations services. These services are available to those seeking support, guidance, and meaning to what is taking place within themselves, their child, or their family.

I enjoy working with people to make difficult times in life, such as family or relationship conflicts, more manageable and less stressful. I understand how isolating the anxiety of these situations can be. It's like no one truly understands how you feel at times and the advice you get from others isn't always helpful. I begin my work with you by taking a complete inventory of your life and circumstances, focusing on anything that might interfere with your path to good mental health. From there, I work to help you define your values and prioritize your mental health and emotional needs, while moving forward to more peaceful times.

You get up early for a quick shower or a hot cup of coffee before the kids wake up and the day gets insane. Or, you peel yourself out of your bed with foggy eyes and force yourself to get ready to start the day. That knot in your stomach just won't go away and you feel like you are running in circles. Things have happened in your life that affected you in ways you can't really understand. Strained relationships with family, a divorce or difficulty adjusting to your new role as a parent. Life doesn't have to be this way!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson. Fear of failure, fear of the past and fear of the unknown can hold us back from becoming our best selves. Change is hard and loss is even harder. Our thoughts and feelings can sometimes be so overwhelming that it seems hard to move forward in life.

Sometimes we have difficulty coping with life’s negative experiences and trauma such as loss, relationship conflict, or anxiety and depression. We cannot always prevent such things, but we can learn how to manage and overcome them.

I believe that each person is unique and special and has a basic right to happiness, peace, and mental health. When a client enters into a therapeutic relationship, they are to be treated with warmth and respect. Psychotherapy is a safe place in which to explore feelings and experiences with a professional guide. The client determines the goal and the psychologist assists the client on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

There is nothing wrong with you. Right now you are doing the best you can with what is available to you socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My practice centers the belief that we are inherently good and trying our best. But, circumstances and our environment aren't always conducive for living our best life. If you are feeling disempowered, disconnected, burnt out, unmotivated and generally disillusioned by the world: I am here for you.

Let’s be honest, life can sometimes be hard to live, but it doesn’t have to be. Everyone is entitled to a life of joy. At times our circumstances, trauma, mental health diagnosis, and/or medical condition may seem to stand in the way of that. With the right therapist you can find joy and life can feel better to live.

My clients tend to be high performing, perfectionistic, driven, and motivated. Oftentimes these positive qualities bring the unwanted side effects of stress, anxiety, a constant feeling of pressure or feeling like what you are doing is not enough. Self-destructive habits like overeating, vaping, drinking, procrastination, overworking, and isolation are used as coping strategies and are letting you know you're out of balance. If you're excited by the thought of change, willing to commit to the therapy process and follow my expert guidance, I am excited for the possibility of working together.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
