I have a Bachelors Degree in Sociology; Masters Degree in Community Counseling; Specialist Degree in Education

I can help bring personal awareness to individuals by presenting a warm environment where comfort is expected.
I have experience with working with individuals in the following areas: relational issues, career choices (high school level), ADHD, emotional and social anxieties, parental issues, etc.
Respect and Compassion are my presenting strengths and Cognitive Behavioral and Person Centered Therapy are my approaches. Common client/therapist dialogue is the way I would like to meet the needs of individuals.
To realize help is needed and to seek that needed help speaks volume of your willingness to make a change. It is now my time to assist you with making the changes you desire for your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kim is an excellent therapist. I would recommend her so highly. I have grown during our discussions
Kim’s a great listener and lends support. I feel comfortable discussing the uncomfortable and that helps me a lot in my daily life now. Thank you.
Kimberly has helped me find my confidence and identity again. My friends and family have all told me they can tell I’ve grown so much as a person and no longer take things so personally anymore. She taught me skills to cope with anxiety and overthinking as well as taught me how to affirm myself and increase my self confidence. I have learned so much about myself and I’m so thankful for her! My days are brighter and emotions are clearer / more rational. I would recommend her to anyone looking to better themselves! She has a warm and gentle demeanor and never makes me feel judged. I have a hard time articulating my thoughts but she is patient and waits for me to finish rambling before she helps me piece together what I’m trying to say. I was nervous to start therapy but she has made it a very positive experience.
Kimberly is very helpful and supportive!
Ever since my first session with Kimberly she has truly helped me find my way! I’ve tried different therapists on different platforms, but she’s the one I was able to connect to the most! Every session with her I’m able to find something new & apply it to my life. I’m so grateful!
Me. Kim has been wonderful. From the first time I spoke with her, I felt more relaxed and comforted. She is calming and listens so well. I would recommend working with her!
Kimberly has the kindest, most gentle soul. She gave me guidance from the most caring place in her heart. I appreciate her wisdom, professionalism, and mentor ship.
This year has been incredibly tough for me, and Kimberly was my first therapist ever. Words can’t describe how grateful I’ve been to how supportive and insightful she’s been through out this time! I still have a long road ahead, but I’m excited to get the needed guidance from Kimberly.
She is wonderful. I’m so glad i searched for find a therapist who understands what i mean when i describe my life as a Black woman. I’m able to set goals professionally and personally. She is great

My 1st week 2 session with Kimberly have been amazing, I am pleased with her being my match. I love how she listen and her way to make me express & open up without any judgement. She's very good & professional
I truly appreciate the expertise, kindness and understanding of Ms. Merritt.
Ms. Kimberly is amazing and I am very appreciative of her support and expertise. Such a positive and amazing spirit. She doesn’t judge me, but she also helps me see things more clearer and for what they are. I understand a lot of things now that has happened in my life because of her. She has helped me get down to the root of my issues and that in turn is helping me build myself back up to what I was before, but more new and improved. I am feeling much better now about myself since starting therapy with Ms. Kimberly and I feel I have improved quite a bit in my life so far and it’s a great feeling indeed! Continue to be great, shine, and be a blessing for others Ms. Kimberly!
Kimberly has been really supportive and has pushed me to explore those events that have brought on difficult feelings. She is a great listener and has been respectful about the different topics I’ve brought to our sessions. She has wonderful energy that makes one feel comfortable to share out.

What a great way to start my therapy journey with Mrs. Merritt. She has been so helpful and takes the time to understand my needs. She even checks in during the week which I appreciate even more. Thank you for everything!
This is my first time working with a therapist. Currently, going through an extremely hard time and Kimberly has helped me stay grounded and has introduced me to the practice of journaling which has truly changed my life for the better I believe. I recommend anyone who is dealing with issues of self-forgiveness to work with her!
