Dr. Kimberly Ragin, LCSW
About me
There are so many life-changing experiences we can have at any stage in life that can leave us feeling stuck, lost, anxious, overwhelmingly sad, or out-of-sync with ourselves. Often times, we grieve the person we were once before. Seeking help with a professional counselor can help facilitate change, growth and restore balance, meaningful purpose and equilibrium. Growth is a journey and I am fully committed to providing the support you need to overcome challenges that have kept you down, and to expand your coping tool box to navigate difficult situations and foster perseverance.
My approach to the therapeutic support I will provide is holistic and culturally responsive and centered around your strengths, needs, and identified goals. I am licensed in Virginia with 14 years of clinical experience and a Doctor of Social Work. I find that healing occurs through mind-body connection and deep compassion. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to explore and collaborate with you in building towards your best self!
