About Kimberley

Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. Kimberley uses a narrative lens alongside practical therapies to help clients untangle the stories that shape their lives.

She blends narrative ideas with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. That means she pays attention to past relationships and current patterns while keeping the person’s goals central.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so clients can try small changes between meetings. Kimberley draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills when needed. These approaches teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving sleep and reducing compulsive behaviors.

She also has experience addressing issues like addiction, ADHD, body image, and relationship struggles. Her work covers practical family concerns such as parenting stress, blended family challenges, and communication problems. Kimberley also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness, aging issues, and identity matters related to LGBT experiences.

Clients can expect clear talk about goals and gradual steps toward change. Kimberley aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and test new ways of responding. She describes the first step of reaching out as an important, brave move.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment work online

Narrative therapy helps people see the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful narratives. It works well for identity questions, grief, and relationship patterns by encouraging people to name events and choose different meanings.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships affect present responses. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repetitive conflict by focusing on emotional patterns and connection needs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Kimberley will listen to your goals and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust as you learn what helps. That collaborative pace lets you test skills without pressure.

Online sessions offer several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to keep momentum between appointments and to fit therapy into busy days.
