Getting to know Kimberly Joy Stapert Beard

Welcome! I am Kimberly. Are you struggling with a temporary setback or an ongoing problem? Are you wondering if there is hope for your circumstances or relationship? I can assist you. There is always HOPE. 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 these challenges. Together, we will discover new meaning in your experiences while identifying opportunities for healing and growth. Establishing relationship is critical to successful therapeutic outcomes, and as a result, my style of work is interactive, collaborative, direct, and reflective of my focus on the transforming power of relationships. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making a brave choice, and you deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, you will be an active participant, and I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome whatever is holding you back and find hope for a new beginning. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University. If you need a seasoned, genuine, non-judgmental, and respectful counselor who seeks to empower you to overcome your challenges and transform your life, please contact me.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy varies in length of time depending on your unique story, worldview, personality and needs. In your initial session, we focus on building a therapeutic relationship and I will conduct an intake assessment. This assessment will explore your history, where your issues and concerns are rooted and evaluate where significant patterns may have developed. We will also examine the current concerns and presenting problems. You will establish treatment goals and we will discuss your first therapy homework assignment. Processing your therapy homework and identifying baby steps will be the focus of each session moving forward, in addition to working on your identified treatment goal areas.

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.

She is very skilled at working with me to process my trauma from childhood, while also holding me accountable to my present and future goals. Kimberly has a warm non-judgmental presence, and she is a fantastic listener. I can tell because she always seems to understand the subtext and ask the right questions after I ramble. If you are interested in a trauma informed counselor or therapist, I highly recommend Kimberly.
