About me
Greetings, My name is Kimberly Merritt Barrett and I grew in a small rural area in SW Georgia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have a plethora of experience in the following areas: Anxiety, Depression, High School Counseling; Self Esteem; Body Imaging; Self-Awareness, Couples Therapy, Anger Mgmt, Grief/Loss, Relational Issues; etc. My functional statement in this field and what has kept me grounded is: To help someone, you must have been helped at some point in your life. We all need support and a clear vision to operate in this thing called 'life'. I am sorry to inform you I do not submit letters/recommendations for you to be off of work.

She has a very calming and mom like energy to her that I feel like I can open up and be myself and tell her how I really feel without being judged. Can’t wait til our next session.

Working with Kimberly has truly been a gift. She’s warm, authentic, and deeply understanding. No matter how much I talk (and trust me, sometimes it’s a lot), she listens with patience and intention. I never feel rushed or dismissed. Her ability to hold space while still being solution-oriented has helped me unpack so much of what I’ve been carrying from my past. I feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
