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.
In our first session, which is usually when the intake assessment is done. At the intake appointment, you will be able to ask any questions you would like for me to answer. Depending upon the time remaining, we will begin briefing discussing your need for seeking therapy and discuss therapeutic and client expectations.
My strengths are: Compassion; Humble; Learner; Motivator; Encourager; Supporter; Self-Aware
My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because when thoughts change, behavior changes.
