Kimberly Hardy, PhD, LMHC

My approach to therapy is founded on the belief that clients are capable of making the changes needed to cultivate their life worth living. When clients start therapy this often feels impossible. I see your suffering; I will walk with you out of the suffering. Past clients would describe me as compassionate, sensitive and yet straightforward with some dry humor. I am not the therapist you see for two years & will still be working on the same issues. In our work together, we will explore patterns of behavior, thoughts, and/or environmental patterns that contribute to your suffering. Sometimes, we will sit with the acceptance of those things & other times we will work on skills to change those things. I am dynamic and compassionate in my approach with my clients. I believe in building a strong real relationship, teaching lifelong tools (skills), and holding a safe space. 

I work with teens (15+), young adults, and adults around issues of suicidality, self-harm, emotion regulation (big emotions = big behaviors!), trauma, anxiety, and depression. As a Veteran myself & someone who works (& lives) in the first responder community, I have a special place in my heart for serving military affiliated personnel and first responders. The therapy modalities I provide are all of a cognitive behavioral nature. In short, I operate from a belief that our thoughts and behaviors are interrelated. I have seen these therapies change clients' lives (and my own life). Let’s do this.
