Getting to know Kimberly McKenna

Hi there, I'm Kimberly! Starting therapy is a brave and meaningful step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in helping women move through life transitions, trauma, and emotional blocks so they can feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to themselves. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with room for both depth and humor as we do the work together. If something in you knows it’s time to heal—don’t wait. Reach out, and let’s begin. My approach My approach is rooted in trauma-informed, mind-body therapy, combining EMDR and parts work (like Inner Child and IFS) to help you understand the deeper roots of your struggles—not just manage symptoms, but truly heal. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care, so you never feel rushed or overwhelmed. Depending on your needs, we may integrate somatic practices, mindfulness, or practical tools to support daily life. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll work toward the version of healing that feels most authentic to you—whether that means easing anxiety, processing past trauma, or reconnecting with your true self. My focus Do you feel like you’ve done some healing, but old wounds still get in the way of the life you want? I work with women who are high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside—often due to unresolved trauma, life transitions, or painful relationship patterns. As a veteran and trauma specialist, I also have over a decade of experience helping military members and first responders heal from combat trauma, betrayal, complicated grief, family of origin wounds, marital issues, and childhood trauma. Whether you're navigating burnout, divorce, or the long shadow of past pain, I’m here to help you go deeper. Together, we’ll create a healing path that feels empowering, focused, and uniquely yours—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
