About Me
Kimberlee Sykes
LPC
Kim is an EMDR Level 1 and 2 trained Therapist, and a Level 1 trained Gottman Couples Therapist. Kim believes every person’s story matters. Guided by compassion, empathy, and a person-centered philosophy, she creates a safe environment where clients feel valued, heard, and supported throughout their healing journey.
Clients often describe Kim as calm, attentive, authentic, and easy to talk with. Drawing from both personal and professional experiences, she helps individuals navigate life transitions, trauma, stress, self-worth challenges, and emotional healing. Kim believes healing cannot be rushed and that growth happens when people are given space to process their experiences with patience and self-compassion.
Kim finds great joy in helping clients reconnect with their strengths and become the healthiest, most authentic version of themselves. Her faith informs her belief that every person is wonderfully made and deserves care, healing, and hope.

I am a client-centered counselor dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where individuals and families can explore challenges, discover strengths, and work toward growth. My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and a belief in each person’s inherent resilience and capacity for change. I integrate evidence-based practices—such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and strength-based interventions—with a holistic understanding of factors that shape each client’s experience. I am especially passionate about working with adolescents, teens, young adults, and families navigating differences, trauma, and adjustment issues. I strive to walk with clients in setting realistic goals that promote emotional self-regulation.
