Grief counselors and therapists in Gainesville, GA

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

Life can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving adults in Georgia, and I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can feel understood, validated, and supported. Together, we’ll work toward greater confidence, balance, and peace in your daily life, at a pace that feels right for you.

Life can change in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or the challenges that come with a major life transition, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. You don't have to figure it all out on your own, and meaningful healing is possible. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+, and major life transitions so they can regain a sense of stability, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with greater confidence. With more than 10 years of experience, I work with teenagers, adults, and seniors, creating a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Maughon — a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’m passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma, rebuild self-worth, and create healthier relationships. My work focuses on trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and the complex dynamics of domestic violence and relationship challenges.

With years of experience supporting survivors through Project ReNeWal and providing therapy at Creative Touch Counseling Center, I offer a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach that meets clients where they are. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your story, gain insight, and move toward emotional healing and empowerment.

Outside the counseling room, I’m a wife, mom of three adult children, proud grandmother, and dog lover who believes in lifelong growth, authenticity, and the power of connection.
