Grief counselors and therapists in Valdosta, GA

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with the passion to help you live your best life. I applaud you for deciding to focus on your mental health.

I am a Masters-level therapist dual-licensed in clinical mental health counseling and addictions counseling in North Carolina and Georgia. I am a Level II Certified Attachment-Based Family Therapist and a Certified Adoption Competent Therapist. I am also certified in Natural Flow EMDR. I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, parents, and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health symptoms and behavioral problems.

I'm a licensed counselor and scholar-practitioner with more than 29 years of experience providing behavioral health care across a wide range of settings. In 2009 I founded BSmith Consulting Group, LLC, where I work with individuals navigating adjustment issues, mental health disorders, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) concerns. Alongside my clinical work, I provide employee assistance support to individuals, professionals, and organizations, and I contribute to the field through clinical supervision, training of fellow mental health professionals, and presenting at local, state, and national platforms. My goal is always to meet you where you are and support your long-term wellness.

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.

Are you feeling stuck and unsure of your next steps? Struggling to focus and make decisions? Overwhelmed by daily tasks? Feeling anxious and constantly worrying?

Everyone's mental health journey is different, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. I take the time to understand who you are—not just your symptoms—so we can build a treatment plan that works for your goals, your lifestyle, and your values. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I care for children, adolescents, and adults through thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Whether you're seeking answers, support, or a fresh start, I'm here to partner with you every step of the way.
