Greetings, I'm Kimberly Bryant, an LPC with a Masters degree from Liberty University. I am the founder of SHE Counseling, LLC, where I specialize in supporting women facing various mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and more. With a commitment to evidence-based approaches and ongoing professional development, I strive to deliver tailored and effective treatment to meet each client's unique needs.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In their first session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can freely express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. We will begin by establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship and discussing their goals for therapy. I will take the time to listen attentively to their concerns and gain a deeper understanding of their unique experiences. Together, we will explore the issues they are facing, including those related to identity, self-esteem, and empowerment. Clients can expect to engage in open and honest conversations as we work collaboratively to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may be hindering their growth. Throughout the session, I will provide empathy, validation, and support, while also offering insights and perspectives to help broaden their understanding. By the end of the session, clients will leave with a clearer sense of direction and a renewed sense of hope for their journey toward healing and personal growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my warm, inviting, and down-to-earth approach to therapy, rooted in a client-centered perspective. I firmly believe that every individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, challenges, and strengths. Therefore, I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. By taking a client-centered approach, I prioritize the client's autonomy, preferences, and values throughout the therapeutic process. I actively listen to their concerns, validate their experiences, and collaborate with them to develop personalized treatment plans that resonate with their individuality. My commitment to client-centered care fosters a deep sense of trust and partnership between myself and my clients. It empowers them to take an active role in their healing journey, leading to greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Overall, my ability to combine warmth, empathy, and a client-centered approach allows me to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where clients feel valued, heard, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been deeply impactful, both personally and professionally. Utilizing CBT techniques in my practice, I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs contributing to their distress. This evidence-based approach offers practical tools adaptable to various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. CBT equips clients with lifelong skills for managing stress and improving overall well-being by fostering self-awareness and resilience. Emphasizing collaboration and client-centeredness, I create a supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences openly. In integrating CBT principles into therapy, my goal is to assist clients in achieving meaningful and sustainable change toward a fulfilling life.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In my practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proven to be a powerful tool for helping clients navigate psychological distress and achieve greater psychological flexibility. By emphasizing acceptance, mindfulness, and values-driven action, ACT empowers individuals to cultivate resilience and live in alignment with their core values. I integrate ACT techniques into therapy sessions to help clients develop mindfulness skills, increase psychological flexibility, and overcome barriers to behavior change. Through values-based goal setting and practical strategies for managing difficult thoughts and emotions, ACT supports clients in creating meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

In my practice, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been invaluable for helping clients build skills to manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and enhance overall well-being. I integrate DBT techniques, such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, into therapy sessions to address a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties. By teaching practical skills and fostering self-awareness, DBT empowers clients to cope effectively with distressing situations and make positive changes in their lives.

Eclectic

I utilize an eclectic approach in my practice, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. I can provide a flexible and personalized treatment plan by integrating elements from different theoretical orientations, such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches. This allows me to adapt interventions based on the client's presenting issues, preferences, and progress throughout therapy. By combining different techniques and perspectives, I aim to maximize therapeutic effectiveness and promote positive outcomes for my clients.

Trauma Informed Care

In my practice, I have extensive experience with trauma-informed treatment methods. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and process their traumatic experiences. Utilizing trauma-informed approaches, I integrate principles of safety, trust, empowerment, and collaboration into therapy sessions. I work to understand the impact of trauma on individuals' lives, considering their cultural background and social context. By incorporating trauma-informed techniques such as grounding exercises, psychoeducation, and mindfulness practices, I aim to facilitate healing and promote resilience in clients affected by trauma.
