I enjoy working with clients of all ages from 10-99+. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety PTSD, relationship and career difficulties, parenting challenges, gender issues. The quality of the therapeutic relationship has been shown to be the number 1 predictor of success in therapy. I see this relationship as a partnership, where you and I develop a trusting, safe space for you to work through issues that may feel overwhelming, or where you may feel stuck.

I value working with teens and adults in a supportive non-judgmental way. I assist people who may be challenged with shame, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, substance use issues/recovery, communication issues, parent/child relationship difficulties, trauma, lack of self-care, and low self-esteem. Often people are struggling with something in their lives that is out of balance or going through a transition and reinventing themselves. Basically, I help people find their way again. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming, and gender-affirming therapist. I am also a culturally responsive and social justice-oriented therapist.

I work extremely well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

I'm Kim Massey, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor offering psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, and families.
