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.
