My goal is to create a safe space where the superman cape, the mask, the facade that you've had to show the world can come down. That cape is really heavy.

I want to extend a special invitation to those in the helping professions: this is a safe place to discuss those crazy stories, and know you'll never feel judged or looked down on. As a former social worker, I can tell you I've seen my own share of the best and worst humanity has to offer. My dark sense of humor is a load-bearing structure.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a major life transition, or simply trying to find your footing again, you're not alone. Life can bring unexpected challenges, and it's okay to ask for support. I'm Kim Reed-Hartley, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in counseling, and I work with individuals who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable being exactly who you are.

My background includes counseling in both educational and wellness settings, giving me experience supporting people through life's many changes. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, navigate life transitions, build healthy coping skills, strengthen self confidence, and reconnect with the version of themselves they want to become. I believe therapy should feel approachable, practical, and tailored to your unique needs.
