Getting to know Kimberly Beard

Welcome! Whether you are struggling with a temporary setback or an ongoing problem, I can assist you. I believe that, as human beings, we all face life challenges-relational, personal, emotional, spiritual, or physical-and our mental health affects how we respond to those challenges. I offer counseling to all ages (13-80 years old) and provide services to individuals, couples, and families. Therapy can be short-term and solution-focused or longer-term, depending on your needs and desires. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship stress, sexual issues, cultural and racial concerns, life transitions, family relations, parenting difficulties, trauma, adoption, identity issues, couples counseling, LGBTQ, and religious/spiritual issues. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1997 with my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work and have been working in the behavioral health field with teens, adults, families, and couples for over 20 years. I believe that engaging in the process of psychotherapy with clients is a great honor. I offer evening and weekend appointments and look forward to meeting you.
