Kimberly Herring, LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. As an LMHC she is a state-licensed professional trained to provide assessment and therapeutic care for a wide range of mental health concerns. Over the course of her career she has worked with adolescents through older adults, supported victims of crime as well as individuals in correctional settings, and treated people with single diagnoses and those with co-occurring or dual diagnoses in both outpatient and inpatient environments.

Much of her background is rooted in the non-profit sector, including several years serving as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a community mental health center. She brings that trauma-focused experience to work with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. She also maintains a focused interest in codependency, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, and issues affecting women.

Her approach is intentionally eclectic and client-centered. While she finds cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) broadly effective, she also adapts elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and client-centered work when those approaches better match a person’s needs. Kimberly emphasizes meeting clients where they are and collaborating to build on existing strengths while teaching skills and tools that may be missing. She aims to challenge and support people so they can grow, heal, and become their whole, authentic selves.
