Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Kimberly Townsend, LMHC and I provide general mental health telehealth therapy services for pre-teens, teens and adults via individual and/or family sessions. I have ten years of experience working with clients and patients in various clinical capacities (schools, in-home, inpatient, outpatient, corrections/prison, private practice). Clients are often looking for support navigating something that has left them feeling alone, surprised or unbalanced. You will find me to be a warm, supportive, welcoming, competent and skilled therapist. I will cheer you on and challenge you. All are welcome, just as you are.
I truly enjoy helping people achieve their goals for emotional well-being. Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or simply struggling with motivation, I would love to help you on your journey! I have 20+ years experience working as a therapist. I am a graduate of Northern Michigan University and University of Michigan. My professional internships were completed at Marquette General Hospital Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Ward and at the University of Toledo Student Counseling Center. Following graduate school, I worked as a counselor for foster and adopted children. I also worked as a K- 8th grade school counselor. In 2002, I joined the United States Air Force, where I spent 8 years working to improve the mental health of military members and their families. While deployed, I operated a combat stress clinic and responded to emergent mental health needs of soldiers, sailors and airmen. After separating from the USAF, I have continued working as a therapist, serving adults from various backgrounds. I embrace diversity, and welcome all people!
Hi, I’m Lucnise. I’m a compassionate and dedicated therapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. My professional background includes training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, and I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress management.
I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

I work with adults, couples, and individuals who are looking to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and create lasting positive change.
Breaking Generational Cycles! Casey loves their family though some behaviors are toxic. They want to make sure the cycle stops with them. They aren't sure how. That's where therapy comes in. In therapy they have a private space that’s entirely theirs. They have someone who listens and doesn't interrupt or talk only about themselves. They don’t have to filter what they say, manage anyone else’s feelings, or worry about being “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “dramatic.” Together, we focus on what’s underneath the anxiety and repeating patterns, helping Casey understand themselves and approach relationships with greater clarity and intention. This ultimately stops the generational, toxic cycle. Hi, I'm Alicia. If this sounds like something you'd like to work on, let's talk about it. I've been in the field for over 15 years and have helped numerous clients with breaking cycles of all kinds. I especially enjoy working with young adults.
