More about Kimberly
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, Psychologist
It takes tremendous courage and strength to ask for help and allow another person into your life when you feel vulnerable and alone. It has been my honor to work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families for the past several years to promote healing and growth. I strongly believe in utilizing a strength-based approach that promotes a partnership between my clients and I so that we may achieve their personal goals together!
I specialize in diverse mental health concerns including, but not limited to trauma, behavioral issues, substance abuse/dependency disorders, bereavement, anxiety, depression, anger management, and interpersonal relationship issues. I originally completed my MS in Rehab Counseling in 2013 and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in December of 2022 so that I may continue to effectively address my client's unique needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is a kind, empathetic profesional and I am happy to have her in my corner!
I am grateful for Kimberly Kowalik’s support, wisdom and guidance. She can see the issues with professional eyes but offers compassion and caring in the way she supports and challenges me to care for myself and make space for myself within the demands of my life. Thank you Kimberly!
Kim has been very helpful to me in navigating through some stressful personal and relationship challenges. She's very well qualified but also compassionate and caring. I would gladly recommend her to anyone.
I have been in therapy and taking anti-anxiety/anti-depressant medication for many years. Earlier this year, I reached out to better help for some additional support due to COVID-19 challenges at work and home. She was responsive, understanding, supportive, and gave great practical advice and concrete strategies. I emerged from our sessions feeling like I could figure out how to deal better with my issues. Thank you, Kim.
Kim is a great listener, and I felt I'm getting her full attention and empathy throughout the session. It's extremely powerful to have that feeling, and opens up vulnerability. I appreciate the time Kim spent with me.
Kimberly is a breath of fresh air. She is an amazing listener, who’s ear and perfectly poised response, has at times brought me to tears of happiness/joy/acceptance. She also has the ability to tell it like it is. She has been the perfect balance of what I needed in a counsellor. I didn’t truly understand what I was looking for when originally searching, but I am so glad I picked Kimberly. Honestly, she has cleared my head and helped me see clearly again. Enabling me to make affirmative strides where necessary. I’m excited at the prospect that there is still further to come!
Kim has been amazing with all the tools she provided me with to overcome some struggles I was going through. She's highly competent and a kind person. I would definitely recommend her!
Kim is not only empathetic and a great shoulder to cry on, she is also extremely intelligent and well educated. She listens and doesn't mince words with her insightful and timely responses.
Talking through the issues that I was having during a difficult point in my life with Kimberly helped me gain what I needed to strengthen my marriage and move forward in my life. After three sessions I started to see significant changes and for that I am very grateful. Thank you Kimberly!
So far my experience with Kimberly has been very helpful. She gives it to me straight and has really opened my eyes about things.
Kim has been fantastic in such short notice with the difficult issues I’ve faced recently. I could tell after my first session that I wanted to continue scheduling with her.
Kimberly has been and is an absolute rock in supporting me through a difficult time in my life. She quickly understood exactly what was going on and gave me great advice and support from our very first session. I would definitely not hesitate to recommend her to anybody that requires professional and accurate help in relationship crisis times. Thanks Kim!
