Grief counselors and therapists in Waxahachie, TX

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.

Do you feel stuck in treatment or unsure what to try next? As a Christian counselor, I have helped hundreds of people, from children to corporate leaders, improve their quality of life. I specialize in chronic pain and stress, and also support anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, including parenting, marriage, and workplace challenges grounded in faith and practical care.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified School Counselor with experience supporting individuals in both clinical and educational settings. I earned my Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Bilingual Education and my Masters of Education in Counseling from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

Sometimes life feels heavier than it should. You may be carrying the weight of a painful experience, struggling with relationship challenges, grieving a loss, or trying to make sense of who you are while balancing everyone else's expectations. When stress begins affecting your confidence, relationships, or sense of peace, it can be difficult to know where to turn. My primary areas of focus include stress, relationship issues, identity concerns, trauma, and family challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way. My goal is to provide a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you feel heard without judgment, supported through life's challenges, and empowered to create lasting, positive change.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

I am a bilingual therapist who has worked in the public education system for more than 15 years. I have experience working in several settings such as public schools, non-profits and corporations. I have earned a Master’s degree in Divinity, a Master’s degree in School Counseling, and a Master’s degree in Public School Administration. I have more than 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents to overcome school struggles. I have more than 10 years of experience working with women of all ages. In 2018, I was honored to receive a Congressional Award for my Inclusion work. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and I am available for virtual sessions most afternoons and weekends.

I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.

Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations. My background also includes leadership roles within behavioral health, allowing me to advocate for clients while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
