Kim Mayner
As a licensed professional counselor I have, for the past 6 years, dedicated my career to helping others attain mental clarity and a sense of self. If clients desire to incorporate their spirituality into treatment I utilize my 25 years of experience as an ordained minister. Both careers have fueled my passion to encourage and motivate clients to embrace the value of their lives.
First session
New clients can expect that the first session will be heavily focused on completing the administrative task of intake while "telling their story." You'll also get to know a sense of me as I make an effort to spark the counseling experience with joy.
Strengths
Life can feel heavy when anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or cultural pressures make it hard to move forward. You may be navigating loss, or the emotional load of caring for everyone but yourself. Therapy is a place to breathe, think clearly and reconnect with the parts of you that feel strong, capable, and deserving of peace. You don’t have to hold everything alone — together we’ll create a path that feels grounded, meaningful and truly your own. I offer a warm, supportive, and culturally aware space where you can explore emotions honestly and at your own pace. My approach blends practical tools with deeper reflection, helping you manage anxiety, ease depression, process grief and strengthen relationships while building confidence and resilience. I approach the experience as the beginning of a journey with the client to discover their goals for treatment, while on the way to learning healthy coping strategies, stress management and love of self. Aware of the proven value of the arts (film, music and readings) are incorporated into the counseling experience.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are challenged by life experiences such as family, career, and grief. I've found that clients who are open to learning and applying coping skills and completing clinical homework tailored to their treatment goals and needs are more likely to experience growth . I am patient in waiting as I walk with client as they learn to reframe their thinking and positively change behaviors and habits.
