Are you overwhelmed? Is stress and worry impacting your life? How are you sleeping? Do past hurts, traumas, and broken relationships keep you woke at night? Are you misunderstood and judged, is your best not good enough? Do you long for relief from the pain of a broken heart? Well carrying the weight of unresolved issues has a negative impact on your present and your future. The hurt that's embedded deep in your heart may manifest in many ways such as anger, depression, isolation, anxiety, broken relationships, poor parenting, eating disorders, substance abuse, and much more. It's okay to seek help you're not weak; you're human.
My passion is healing broken hearts. I want you to release pain and begin healing. I want you to come to terms with painful experiences that you cannot face alone. I utilize Cognitive behavioral Therapy and Psychoanalytic therapy to help you overcome the limiting and often paralyzing beliefs that result from past hurts and trauma. I want you to live again!
My career is a call to serve. I have 18 years experience focusing on healing emotional and psychological wounds. I provide a safe place where you can expose your pain and problems through a heart-to-heart conversation. I offer therapeutic interactions that bring comfort, healing, and hope, for the future. I honor the opportunity to connect with you.

About online counseling

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.

Kimberly is a wonderful counselor and advocate. I always look forward to my sessions with her. I reccomend anyone looking for a compassionate, detail oriented therapist to connect with her for some faith-based, clinical support.
Kimberly is amazing. She has helped me begin to work through a ton of really tough things in my life and is always so supportive and compassionate.
Kimberly is amazing at what she does. Best therapist ever!
I’ve found Kimberly very easy to talk to and very insightful. I look forward to speaking with her every week.
I knew Ms Washington was perfect for me from the first session! It was like talking to an not only an old friend but an expert in her field. She listened to every aspect of my concerns and took great notes. She helped me to focus on what I needed to help me sort through what was most important to get the best out of our time together. Not only will I continue to utilize her during my time of need, I will be sure to continually touch base with her so I don’t lose focus on my progress. I highly recommend her to anyone who has specific needs and would like a candid view and insight to helping you work through tough times with amazing knowledge and care for people.
Great listener and gets involved
Kimberly is an amazing therapist who has helped me navigate through difficult situations that ultimately made me a happier stronger person today. I can't thank her enough I even recommended her to my friends. Everyone can benefit from therapy but Kimberly just made it easy.
Kimberly’s ability to listen and relate are exactly what I needed. She is real, kind, empathetic, and understanding of how people think and relate to one another. In all instances too! Whether it is parent/child, husband/wife, friends, any kind, she knows her stuff!! Thank you Kimberly for listening. Looking forward to learning more.
I am really enjoying working with Kimberly. I look forward to our sessions. She has given me good feedback, she has funny stories and everything is so relatable. She is definitely helping me and I hope others will benefit from her expertise too.
Ms. Kimberly is awesome. Great listener
Miss Kimberly has been such a breath of fresh air for me and a true source of renewal to my spirit. I greatly appreciate her understanding and guidance in my journey to healing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My only wish is that I should have started therapy sooner.
I've only met with Kimberly 3 times and I already have so much confidence in her! She listens and reads in between the lines. She helps me navigate through issues where I feel stuck. She helps me think about my issues differently to help me get through them.
She is so good for me and for helping me talk through my situation.
Kimberly is a perfect match for me she’s very knowledgeable patient and kind
Kim has been the one councilor out of dozens I've had in my 29 years, that I feel safe telling anything too. She's been with me through a career change as well as a major relationship change and it's been wonderful she is someone I'd recommend to anyone. She listens she laughs she empathizes and she gives clear and consistent feed back to the situations you face. She may call you out with your wrong but your stringer for it. That you Kimberly!!!
Kimberly shows up on time, present and ready to go. She gives invaluable feedback and genuinely cares about her work. I appreciate her and enjoy working with her!
Amazing! Life coach and professionally trained counselor
She listens and gives me encouragement. I enjoy her input as well.
Ms. Washington has been an amazing listening ear and advocate for my mental health. I appreciate her caring manner, validation and advice.
Ms. Washington listens and offers good advice. My life has been better with her help.
Kimberly is incredible, very supportive and very good at giving me new ways to look at life situations.
Love her, she is easy to talk with and truly cares.
Ms. Kim is amazing! She is very responsive to my needs regardless of depth of the conversation. I was matched perfectly.
Kimberly is warm and compassionate. I was nervous before my first session but she immediately put me at ease.
Kim is knowledgeable and supportive of my issues as well as facilitative in how she helps me to deal with my problems.
Kimberley was intuitive, quick to respond empathetic .
Kimberly has been a friendly and kind voice in the time of need and a listening observing ear to see through the fog.
She has been very helpful to me.
From the first visit she was already connecting dots for me and helping me understand myself. I've talked to plenty of counselors before her but she is by far the most interactive and listening counselor I've had. I'm excited to see how she can help me. Honestly, its almost like talking to a good friend. Highly recommend her.
So far a great experience. Kimberly has been open, receptive and very knowledgeable, as well as easy to talk to. She is offered many helpful ways to rethink some of the things that have been a struggle for me. I was hesitant about A/V non-face-to-face counseling. But I found it to be very helpful.
After just three sessions I feel like why didn’t I do this sooner, I have gotten so much help in such little time, and I want to continue my sessions so I can become a better person, and be stronger in life.. she has helped me tremendously. She is very professional and so understanding.
Kimberly has been a voice of reason and a great help to me as I move forward in this next chapter of my life. She has helped me to truly see the impact of some of my relationships on my life. I am looking forward to continuing our sessions as I focus on being a better me.
