I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) specializing in trauma and anxiety. I help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck find relief and feel more like themselves again. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT and am trained in EMDR. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
I work primarily with children ages 3–17, offering individual therapy while strongly encouraging family involvement to support lasting change.
I specialize in working with men who struggle with issues related to self-esteem, people-pleasing, communication and relationships.
I believe that prioritizing your mental health is a major key to a happy, fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but before I was a therapist I taught high school. Because of my background in education, I love working with young adult females who are struggling with identity, self-confidence, anxiety and depression.
I have 29 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals, couples, groups with diverse populations including community mental health, the school system, and military families. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from University of Southern Mississippi. I then obtained the Master of Science degree in Counseling from Troy State University.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, and stress as well as personal growth goals.
I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and client-centered approach utilizing solution-focused and strength- based treatment. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help understand our thoughts and behaviors.
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.
For more than 24 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate some of life’s most difficult and challenging moments. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, respect, honesty, and the belief that meaningful change is possible when we are willing to understand where we have been, recognize where we are today, and make intentional choices about where we want to go.
Life can leave us carrying disappointment, loss, difficult relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, regret, or painful experiences from the past. Sometimes, we simply feel stuck and are unsure how to move forward. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to step back, gain perspective, understand ourselves more deeply, and begin creating a different path.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor, I draw upon extensive clinical experience and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help clients identify their concerns, develop meaningful goals, and build practical strategies for change. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems—it should help you develop insight, strengthen your ability to cope, improve your relationships, and move toward the life you want to live.
My philosophy is simple: your past may have shaped you, but it does not have to define you.
Therapy is an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you, embrace the present, and discover the person you are capable of becoming.
My goal is to help you move forward with greater self-awareness, confidence, resilience, and hope.
It’s never too late to put your Best Self Forward.
Hi, I’m Ashley Harding, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado/New Jersey and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. For more than 8 years I have specialized in supporting children and teens experiencing anxiety, big emotions, ADHD, anger/outbursts, challenges at school, family changes, and behavior concerns. When your child is struggling, finding the right support can make all the difference. I am here to help your child or teen manage their symptoms, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve self-esteem/confidence. Your child can learn to express their thoughts and feelings effectively to improve their overall functioning at home, school, and socially.
I don't believe anyone's story is ever over. Life can leave us carrying burdens we never expected. Anxiety, depression, broken relationships, grief, trauma, addiction, or simply the weight of holding everything together can make it feel like peace is out of reach. But I believe that pain does not define you, and it does not get the final word. As a Christian counselor, it is my mission to help people find hope and strength in the middle of life's hardest moments. Healing doesn't pretend the past never happened, but it does mean that your wounds don't have to control your future. I utilize a mix of evidence based practices, which includes trauma informed care, that align with God's design to help you get as close as you can to the peace you were designed to live with.
I meet clients where they are and build the kind of therapeutic relationship where real change becomes possible. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the quiet pressure of trying to hold it all together. I believe you already carry the capacity for a more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling life. Therapy with me is a place to access those inner resources, make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, and strengthen the parts of you that may have been overlooked. If you are ready to stop white-knuckling your way through and start building something that actually fits, I would love to work with you.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Naples
Searching for therapists in Naples starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life transitions. As you compare Naples therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, or other methods that may fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Naples, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person therapy near Naples, Golden Gate, Lely, or North Naples, or virtual sessions that fit your calendar. It also helps to review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Naples can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists in Naples, check whether your insurance is accepted for your specific plan before booking, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and review detailed bios in one place. You can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
