I’m a cis-gender heterosexual female. My husband and I have a high school aged son. I’m originally from St. Louis, MO but I have lived in Florida for a combined 36 years because I love living in paradise. One of the things I enjoy about virtual work is seeing my clients’ pets too.
I was a non-traditional student and got my bachelor's degree at 29 and my master's degree at 32. The life skills I gained as I worked my way through school have been helpful throughout my career. For some people, the age of their therapist is important. I am 49 years old.
Some of my helpful qualities include being non-judgmental. I have talked to people of all kinds, many ages with all kinds of histories and all kinds of present lives. There really isn't a topic you can't discuss with me, I have never felt a client gave me "TMI" or too much information. You are guaranteed privacy and confidentiality. You can get judgment for free anywhere else. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they know.
I am often told after first sessions that I'm easy to talk to and those clients feel better just having gotten some things off their chest.
I have treated children and teens throughout my career beginning at my first job in foster care.since beginning in I graduated from my masters degree. I have also treated adults with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual dysfunction, porn addiction, people in the LGBTQ community & people in alternative lifestyles.
I also treated patients in hospice as well as other medical settings. I treat people with chronic illnesses and occasionally I treat people with life limiting illnesses.
Here at Headway I will treat anyone who is 10 or older because I believe they are best suited for virtual therapy. I'm open to appeals about this policy.
There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with an extensive background in critical care. I provide medication management and supportive therapy for adults 18+, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is grounded in both clinical precision and an understanding of how life circumstances impact mental health. I offer care that is thoughtful, unhurried and tailored to you.
“I’m Kimberly Covington, a trauma-informed therapist and coach with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
Because at the end of the day—peace over pressure.”

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Miami
Finding the right LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Miami starts with identifying what you want to address in therapy. For some, that may be directly related to identity — like navigating coming out, processing minority stress, or working through family dynamics. For others, identity may not be the focus at all, but seeing a provider who understands LGBTQIA experiences can make it easier to talk openly about anxiety, depression, relationships, or other concerns.
When evaluating providers, look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, background, and whether they feel like a good match. A free phone consultation is another way to assess fit before committing to a session.
Therapy in Miami can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Whether you prefer virtual appointments or in-person sessions in neighborhoods like Wynwood, Coconut Grove, or downtown Miami, you can find LGBTQIA-affirming providers who accept your plan.
