Biography: Hi there, I'm Kim! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience in the social work field across various settings. This journey has shaped my understanding and compassion for building healthier mindsets and breaking generational cycles to sustain personal growth and balance. I provide a supportive space to help individuals navigate challenges and achieve lasting peace and purpose. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered, rooted in empathy, understanding, and collaboration. I utilize a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, solution-focused therapy to identify and build on strengths, and trauma-informed care to ensure a safe, supportive environment. My goal is to empower individuals to break cycles, foster resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My focus My client focus is on individuals seeking personal growth, healing, and balance in their lives. I specialize in helping those who want to break generational cycles, navigate life transitions, and improve their mental health. Whether you're facing challenges related to stress, trauma, relationships, or self-esteem, I am here to provide support and strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and supportive, with a focus on active listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for open dialogue. I am very transparent and will guide you in a way that serves your goals. If lasting change is the goal, sometimes uncomfortable dialogue is necessary, but I assure you it will always be approached respectfully and with your best interests in mind. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started back in middle school when I became a peer mediator. That experience opened my eyes to how people navigate their emotions and relationships, and it gave me a chance to practice important skills like listening without judgment and helping others find solutions to their conflicts. I quickly realized how much I enjoyed being a support for people in difficult situations, and it sparked something in mea desire to help others in a deeper, more meaningful way. Over the years, I've had moments in my own life that reinforced this path. There were times when I faced challenges or needed guidance myself, and I saw firsthand the power of having someone there to listen, offer perspective, and help me through tough times. I think these personal experiences played a big role in shaping my decision to pursue therapy. As I moved forward, I also found myself naturally gravitating toward roles where I could support otherswhether through volunteering, mentoring, or just being there for friends and family. Every time I was able to help someone process their emotions or make sense of their struggles, I felt more certain that this was the work I wanted to do long-term. Eventually, I decided to dive deeper into the field. I pursued formal education and training, learning about psychological theory, therapy techniques, and ethical practices. Through internships and clinical placements, I got hands-on experience and really saw how therapy can transform lives. That solidified my passion for the field. Looking back, I can see how my own experiences, along with a strong desire to help others heal, guided me on this path. It's been a combination of personal reflection, growing empathy, and a commitment to learning that has brought me to where I am todaya therapist always ready to support others in their journeys. My goals for you I approach goal setting with clients collaboratively, ensuring that the goals are meaningful, realistic, and tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Together, we identify specific areas for growth, break down larger goals into manageable steps, and create a clear plan of action. I also incorporate regular check-ins to celebrate progress, adjust as needed, and address any challenges, always keeping the client's values and desired outcomes at the forefront. My first session with you During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we'll focus on building rapport and understanding your unique story. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and what led you to seek therapy, as well as review important background information to help me gain a clear picture of your experiences. I'll also explain the therapeutic process, and answer any questions, and together, we'll begin creating a plan tailored to your needs and aspirations.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Life is full of seasons, some more difficult than others. Hi I'm Jessica, a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina and for the past 10 years I've been supporting clients as they navigate some of life's more challenging seasons. I'm passionate about helping client's access their inner strengths and achieve their goals. I believe everyone has the inner strengths needed to live their best life. It can be hard to recognize those strengths through the fog our stress response triggers. Having someone outside of your inner circle to listen, help you clear your head and build better coping skills can be so helpful. Therapy is a process in which you will clarify how you feel, what you need and want, and how to get more satisfaction from your life. Counseling approaches I use vary according to your personal goals. But, the foundation of my therapeutic style is person centered, a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. I believe each counseling experience should be unique and one of a kind, tailored to the person I am with in that moment. I hope you will feel that belief in our work together. My schedule varies throughout the year, so I prefer to work with clients directly to schedule appointments that fit their need. Please feel free to message me to inquire about my current session time availability.
