Dr. Kimberly McGough

Dr. Kimberly McGough

Therapist

Virtual • Houston, TX


I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from Sam Houston State University in 2015, following a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2003. My clinical specialty is working with young adults, adolescents, and families, with over five years of direct clinical experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than a decade of experience as a counselor educator at the university level. I also have over 20 years of experience in public education, including 13 years as a certified secondary school counselor. This diverse background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of both academic and developmental challenges across the lifespan.

Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows in a space that’s safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I believe healing and growth happen when you feel truly heard and understood. Just as pearls are shaped through pressure, our own resilience and beauty often emerge from life’s most difficult moments and I’m honored to walk beside you on that transformative journey.

Karen Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m Karen Moore, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Social Worker with more than 25 years of combined experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through healing, growth, and meaningful change. My work blends decades of social‐work practice with clinical counseling expertise, giving me a deep understanding of how life experiences, relationships, and environments shape emotional wellness.

My approach is warm, affirming, and empowering. I create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that matter most. I specialize in trauma‐informed care and use evidence‐based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma‐Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Problem‐Solving Therapy. Together, we’ll build practical tools that help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions with greater clarity and confidence.

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding your story, identifying your strengths, and clarifying your goals. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and strategies that help you feel grounded, capable, and connected to your own resilience.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings compassion, experience, and a steady presence to the work, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.
