Dr. About Kimberly Athuman, LCSW

It is time to step into a new chapter of your life. I will help you control the narrative.

Hi, I am Dr. Kimberly Athuman, LCSW.

Are you finding it challenging to assert your sexual or emotional needs? I offer culturally sensitive care, focused on empowering you to express and fulfill your aspirations in dating, relationships, sexuality, and daily life. Together, we will work to bring clarity to uncertainties, approach challenges with compassion, and develop solutions that align with your values and goals.

I believe healing is not a linear journey but one built on resilience, growth, and self-discovery. Whether you are untangling the pain of religious trauma, navigating life transitions, or exploring the intricacies of your inner world, my goal is to provide you with tools, insights, and unwavering support. Let’s take this step forward together—because your well-being matters, and your story deserves to be heard and honored.

My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is a collaborative partnership. We will work together to identify your goals and pursue meaningful change. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Feminist, Humanistic, and Interpersonal frameworks, I aim to create an engaging and empathetic space tailored to your unique needs. When appropriate, I incorporate psychodynamic techniques to explore deeper patterns, and I use Motivational Interviewing to empower you in initiating and sustaining change. Positive Psychology also plays a key role in our sessions, as we focus on your strengths and use them as a foundation for growth and resilience. Together, we will create a path forward that reflects your values and aspirations.

I strive to foster a therapeutic space where authenticity flourishes, and healing takes its own unique shape for each individual. By integrating evidence-based practices with a personalized approach, I am committed to meeting you where you are in your journey. Let’s uncover the strengths you already possess and build upon them, step by step, toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. I am dedicated to supporting your journey toward healing, personal growth, and self-empowerment—and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Best,

Kimberly Athuman
