Kimberly Smiley is a natural at helping people get through drama. She identifies the effects of trauma and doesn’t make one feel ashamed of what has happened to them. she is ready to help improve one’s life without taking a long time to solve the issue. She asks permission to address one’s needs. And I don’t ever recall a therapist asking me,but telling me what I had to do. She brings light to the problem in a positive way and guides one at the level they feel comfortable completing the work. A caring and thoughtful therapist.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

In my first session with Kimberly, she made me feel comfortable and confident in the work that we will be doing together. Her therapy style, personality, and energy is just what I need to help me on my journey to be healed and whole.
Amazing human being, great work so far. Highly recommended.
