About Me

 

kimberley hunt, lcsw

What brought me to the mental health world was the desire for meaningful work. What I mean by that, is that I find great meaning and purpose in hearing your story. I became a therapist because I am very aware of how people suffer alone with debilitating isolation because the world does not feel safe. I see therapy as a place of intention and creation; we all have energy, but sometimes the trick is how to use it. Through working with me you’ll be able to see yourself and others more clearly. Because it’s not about them, it’s about you and finding a path that aligns closely to what you treasure in life. I assist you with recognizing patterns, themes and messages that have been sent to you throughout your life; those that have had an impact on your sense of self and self-worth. I will partner with you as we challenge negative concepts and perceptions of the self based on self-compassion not self-hatred. I am interactive, engaged, and attuned to you… Clients have described me as relaxed, yet engaged and interactive. I am sensitive, intuitive, and creative. Through compassion and validation we can work towards creating a fuller life where you have the skills and ability to heal and move towards more of a sense authenticity.

what therapy looks like with me

 

Boundaries in relationships

Boundaries are critical to how we interact with others and how we maintain relationships. Relationships with ourselves and others go well when we have a sense of interdependence… Meaning that once you are able to know yourself and your needs, you will be better able to have relationships with people that are not riddled with codependence and blurred boundaries. There will be space for you and space for them. We will work on your perceptions of confrontation, systematically putting others needs ahead of your own, and the self blame that arises when relational issues seem to just feel like too much.

 

Relationship to self

At the end of the day, you go home with you. The relationship you have with yourself is vital to every piece of your life. Maybe there’s a nagging inner voice or critic that tells you that you’re not enough… or a fear of failure that surrounds you… whatever it is, we will strengthen your self-compassion and self-acceptance. The idea is that once that relationship with yourself is present and sustainable, then that foundation allows for other areas of your life to feel lighter and more fulfilled.

respect your sensitivities

Perhaps you look at the world differently than others and see things in a unique way… with that can come feelings of frustration, guilt, and overwhelm. Or even the worry of, “why do I feel this way and others don’t?”. Within the ebbs and flows of life, big emotions arise, and those emotions arise for good reasons. These feelings let us know a need is not being met or a boundary has been crossed. Through our work together, I will help you to listen and respect those feelings in a way to be more connected to yourself - mind, body, and soul.

 

Life in alignment with your values

Sometimes we need to get to know ourselves very well before we are able to live a life of integrity and personal fulfillment. We will get to know your values and how you want to live your life. We will understand the choices and changes that might be right within reach, but it feels like there are barriers in the way. Being in alignment with yourself requires self-awareness, but also an investment in yourself.
