Hi, I’m Kumalo—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), behavioral health leader, and Army veteran with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges and reconnect with their strengths. My approach is structured, grounded, and compassionate. I use evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR to support adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I often work with people who juggle high-pressure careers, caregiving responsibilities, or the complex aftermath of trauma—especially military service members and veterans. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re operating on autopilot. Together, we’ll slow things down, clarify your goals, and develop practical strategies for healing, growth, and renewed purpose. Before joining Grow Therapy, I led behavioral health programs across military and correctional settings—designing systems of care that work. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and am board-certified in Clinical Social Work. Now, I bring that same commitment and structure to every client I serve. If you’re ready to start showing up for yourself the way you’ve always shown up for others, let’s connect. You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask some background questions to better understand your experiences and how they may be impacting you now. The session is relaxed, collaborative, and designed to help you feel comfortable and in control of the process. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for—we’ll move at your pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach blends evidence-based structure with compassion and flexibility. I draw from therapies such as CBT, CPT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you gain clarity, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping skills. Clients often tell me they appreciate the balance of structure and empathy in our sessions—work that not only deepens understanding but also fosters real, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful change, even if they feel unsure of where to begin. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or a renewed sense of direction, I offer a structured yet supportive space to help you move forward with purpose.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. CBT allows us to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for change, leading to greater emotional balance and resilience. My goal is to provide structured, supportive care tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. I have extensive experience working with military service members and veterans, helping them process combat trauma, military sexual trauma, and moral injury in a structured, supportive way. Through telehealth, I offer CPT in a format that’s accessible, confidential, and effective from the comfort of your home.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy

I specialize in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) another proven treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. I have extensive experience working with military service members and veterans, helping them process combat trauma, military sexual trauma, and moral injury in a structured, supportive way.

Psychoeducation

I incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By increasing awareness of mental health patterns and evidence-based strategies, clients feel more empowered to take an active role in their healing and growth.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Using Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients identify their strengths and build on what’s already working in their lives. This brief, goal-oriented approach focuses on creating meaningful change by clarifying priorities, highlighting past successes, and developing practical steps forward.
