Couples therapists in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

I’ve been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 1995 and in Florida since 2001, with decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a motivational trainer, consultant, and adjunct faculty member at over 20 universities, community colleges, hospitals, and medical centers.

My approach is rooted in psychoeducation — helping you better understand yourself while giving you practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have experience supporting clients through relationship issues, life transitions, personal growth, and emotional healing. I also facilitate seminars, workshops, and small groups, where I create a supportive space for learning, connection, and growth. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward with confidence.

“I’m Kimberly Covington, a trauma-informed therapist and coach with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Because at the end of the day—peace over pressure.”

My intention is to provide a judgment-free space where we can talk about what is going on and collaborate to move forwards in the best way possible. I am flexible in my approach to counseling, and I tailor my counseling style based on the needs of each person I work with. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients (age, gender, concerns, etc.) and I am passionate about what I do. I am into fitness and healthy lifestyle, and I support my clients with creating their own foundation of wellness.

I got my start working in a residential setting, supporting people through serious mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. That experience shaped how I see therapy, it’s not just clinical, it’s about feeling understood and not alone in what you’re going through. I now work with people dealing with things like trauma, emotional ups and downs, and substance use, and I’m trained in EMDR. While I have experience with more intense situations, I also work with people who feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected and want to understand why.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about helping individuals feel more connected to themselves, their emotions, and their relationships. My background includes training in trauma-informed care, attachment-based therapy, and holistic approaches that consider both the mind and body. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, and patterns rooted in early experiences.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in authenticity. I aim to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and feel both supported and gently challenged. I often integrate insight-oriented work with practical tools so you can better understand yourself while also making meaningful changes in your day-to-day life.

Clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel human, not clinical, and I value bringing a sense of honesty, humor, and depth into the work we do together.
