Who Am I

---

Hello! I am Kimberly Parker, a graceful, imperfect person who loves helping people grow to reach their desired goals.  Through therapy, I facilitate the healing process needed to recover from depression, anxiety, and substance abuse to live the life they want to live.  

I know that negative thoughts, feelings, and self-defeating behaviors can get in the way of us realizing our full potential.  I also know that we can have a new lease on life with adequate support, compassion, and insight. It is why I became a therapist.  I believe in the power we have to transform and overcome the smallest mistakes to the most considerable obstacles.  My training and education, along with my life experiences, have provided me with deep insight and a unique ability to connect with others.  I am committed to living life on purpose, and I strive to help others manifest their desires.  

I am a wife, married for over twenty years, and the mother of teenagers.  For pleasure, I enjoy exercising, writing, and shopping for shoes (smile).  I am an Army veteran and a big advocate for social justice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social  Worker, and my experience includes working with youth, adults, and families focused on mood disorders (depression, anxiety, Bipolar II), behavior modification, interpersonal development, trauma, and substance abuse. My therapy approach is solution-focused working towards your identified goals.  I utilize mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy treatment modalities to create change. Progress in therapy will be dependent on the work we do together during therapy sessions and the work you'll need to  do outside of the session as a follow-through. 

I am grateful for the privilege to partner with you as your therapist, and I look forward to working with you.  Thank you.
