Great to meet you!

Kimberly Townsend is a Licensed Master’s Social Worker from Lansing, Michigan who works with women who struggle with anxiety, caregiving roles, unequal mental load, and self criticism and doubt. Kim has been licensed since 2006 and has spent over 20 years working in behavioral health, most recently in a hospital setting working with persons with chronic illness.

My approach to therapy

I embrace an eclectic style of therapy that pulls from the many different evidence-based treatments I have learned over the years. Each client is different and this helps me to meet you where you are and find what works for you.

What you can expect from me

Let's go on a journey together to embrace self love, quiet the inner critic, reconnect with your life on your terms, and find some balance and joy. Let's get rid of past patterns of behavior and thoughts that no longer serve us so we can move on to a place where we can embrace our own vulnerability and just learn to be. You are enough just the way you are.
