About me

As a licensed therapist in Florida and Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with particular expertise in addressing depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ experiences, and addiction challenges.

I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their most profound personal struggles. My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals develop self-love, improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and heal from past experiences of discrimination, violence, and systemic challenges.

My practice embraces a holistic perspective that honors diverse identities and experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies for healing, growth, and empowerment. Whether you're confronting workplace stress, relationship dynamics, or personal transformation, I'm dedicated to supporting your path toward emotional wellness and authentic living.

Great session

Kimberly has been an incredible therapist ! She creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where I feel truly heard and understood. Her guidance has helped me gain new perspectives, manage my emotions better, and grow in ways I didn’t think were possible. I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.

Kimberly Smith is someone I strongly appreciate and recommend. She hears and understands my needs. Kimberly helps me focus on the goals we set as well as gives me grace when or if I digress.
