Getting to know Kim Smith
Hello, I'm Kim. Are you looking for ways to build a life worth living? I am happy and privileged to be a part of your journey for change. With a Master's in School Counseling from Amberton University, I have a passion for helping clients find emotional balance and happiness in their lives. I will work with you to reach your goals through an open-minded and caring alliance. Together, we will build a life worth living, guiding you toward the goals and contentment you seek. We will work in a supportive environment on this journey toward change.
I believe in helping clients jumpstart their change in a goal-oriented manner. Clients and I collaborate to set goals that help them move forward. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy and other counseling methods, I will help you find the path for change that works for you in an understanding and caring environment.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, or relationship issues, I would be honored to help you discover a path to healing. Congratulations on taking the first step toward therapy and a happier future.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in starting to make changes as soon as possible. In your first session with me, we will go over the intake information, and then we will delve into ways to help with immediate improvements. Throughout therapy we will look some into the “why” of where you are, but the focus is on the “how” to move forward. We use a goal-centered approach focusing on change in a step by step manner.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Kim is amazing. She's so open minded and kind. I've never felt judged. She's helped me to authentically be who I am and to respect and love myself. I highly recommend her.
