Getting to know Kimberly Gardner

Hi there, I'm Kimberly! Therapy is a process of change and awareness. My role is to be someone you can freely speak with, to point out what you may not be seeing, and to challenge you when needed. Not every therapist is the right fit, and it's OK to go elsewhere. Choose the one who'll get you there. My focus I work with adults struggling with substance abuse, recovery, and issues of self-esteem and personal growth. My role is to help you identify what changes you want to make and navigate the impact these changes will have on your life. My approach I tailor my approach to how you best hear, see, and learn. I believe we can break issues down to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. All three need to be addressed, but behaviors are the most powerful tool to change feelings and thoughts. This can be difficult, but living with pain is just as difficult. My communication style I am direct and, at times, blunt in my communication, but also understanding and non-judgmental. I believe in humor and levity when appropriate. My journey to mental healthcare I was always interested in people and their stories. My first work was at a substance abuse center with the homeless, where I learned about resilience, recovery, setbacks, and the power of hope. It taught me to be more understanding and kinder, and showed me where I needed to grow. My goals for you Together, we will identify and set goals that matter to you, whether improving relationships, building self-esteem, or other personal objectives. As you gain insights, your goals may evolve, and we can adapt our plan to ensure it's always meaningful and relevant to you. Our first session The first session is to get to know you and your story. Why did you decide therapy was the right move at this point? It's also about you determining if I'm the right fit to walk this journey with you.
