Kimberly Leak

Kimberly Leak

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I've spent my career working with people who are dealing with some of life's hardest circumstances — trauma, addiction, domestic violence, grief, chronic illness, and the day-to-day weight of anxiety and depression that doesn't announce itself. I bring both clinical training and real compassion to that work.

As a Black female therapist, I'm especially attuned to the cultural context that shapes how we experience stress, seek help, and heal. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, BPD, domestic violence, and substance use, and I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Connecticut.

My approach is practical and trauma-informed — I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. You've already taken a step by being here. We can take the next ones together.

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing your best to hold everything together, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or misunderstood? Maybe you overthink, shut down, react before you have time to process, or find yourself repeating patterns you know are no longer serving you. Anxiety, depression, intense emotions, difficult relationships, and life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin finding a healthier way forward.
