I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through times of challenge, transition, and growth. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in therapies that are supported by research and guided by a recovery-oriented model—meaning I believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and lead a life that aligns with your values.
I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy such as:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
- Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
I received my undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago, where I was trained in evidence-based, client-centered approaches to mental health.
In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, I have worked with people of all ages and a wide variety of life experiences. While I engage clinical tools from many different therapeutic modalities, my approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My focus is on utilizing strengths and clarifying personal values to promote growth that matters to you.
Hello! I am Kimberly, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in KY, ID, and FL. I enjoy reading, nature, and traveling for fun. I pride myself on being genuine and easy to talk to. I am open-minded and non-judgmental. I believe that therapy should be treatment and not spinning our wheels while getting nowhere. I want to help you feel better. As your therapist I will teach you skills and help you understand yourself better so that you can become happier! I look forward to working with you to help meet your needs. My schedule is flexible so you may message me to request a time outside the shown availability
Here's what I want you to know up front: I'm not going to make you feel like a case file. My background is in crisis intervention, case management, and advocacy — which means I've sat with people at their most unraveling moments, and I've learned that the most important thing isn't having a perfect therapeutic technique. It's making someone feel genuinely seen before asking them to do anything hard.
I specialize in trauma and substance use, and I work with individuals and families across all of Kentucky via telehealth. I'm also one of the very few therapists in the state who is fluent in American Sign Language — so if you or someone in your family communicates in ASL, you don't have to compromise on the quality of care you receive.
I'm openly LGBTQIA+-affirming, and I mean that in practice, not just on a checklist. I've worked with people across the gender and sexuality spectrum and genuinely enjoy holding that space.
Hello. I am a LPCCS, TCADC, NCC, QMHP, and QIDP. I love and enjoy working with people. I am person centered and believe in Hope. I have worked in mental health for over thirteen years. I am EMDR and SIPS certified. I have been trained in CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by the CBT Beck Institute. If you want to start making changes in your life, I am the therapist for you. I will work with you and meet you where you are.
If you or your child have been carrying something heavy, like the aftermath of trauma, anxiety that keeps your body on high alert, or a low mood that will not lift, you do not have to white knuckle it alone. I am Rhiannon Brown, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help people process what they have been through and find their footing again. I work with children, teens, and adults, including LGBTQIA+ and trans folks, neurodivergent clients, and people with chronic or invisible illnesses.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over four years of experience providing trauma-informed mental health care. Since beginning my therapy career in 2022, I have supported individuals facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment-related challenges.
I specialize in EMDR and mindfulness training, offering clients a dynamic blend of advanced therapeutic modalities and empathic presence. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing requires both symptom relief and the opportunity to reframe core beliefs shaped by trauma. I believe in getting to the root of the present day issues.
My clinical work focuses on helping clients reclaim personal agency, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with meaning and self-worth. I hold space for deep emotional work and guide clients toward lasting transformation.
I am committed not just to alleviating distress but to empowering people to rewrite their stories.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, grief, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to keep carrying everything on their own.
My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in practical tools. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as we work toward greater calm, clarity, and stability. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.
I received my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from Xavier University in 2020, but have been working in the mental health field since 2016. My professional background in foster care treatment has helped me form a foundation for trauma treatment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Lexington
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lexington starts with identifying care that is affirming, informed, and relevant to your needs. You may want support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. These details can help you find a therapist whose background aligns with what you want to discuss.
Lexington has a growing mental health care community, but affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapy options in some parts of the area. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, campus, or workplace while still keeping care accessible. As you narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can show how each therapist describes their style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and approach to care.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
