Getting to know Kim Barsella

Hi there, I'm Kim! Hello, I am Kim Barsella, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland, working with clients statewide via telehealth services. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Howard University. As a therapist, I am warm, caring, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach. My approach I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in stress-related disorders, peer pressure, life transitions, self-image and acceptance issues, and others. I use several methods, but mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, to help clients overcome personal obstacles and improve their relationships with themselves, others, and society. My focus I work with youth through senior citizens who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. These often present as anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions or disorders. I help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is warm, caring, open, calm, encouraging, and direct. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I grew up in a household and community where people helped people. As a peer counselor at camp, a community volunteer, and a trusted, loyal friend, I have always been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Subsequently, I entered the mental health field and was educated in specialized ways to lift people up and help them realize how special and amazing they are.
