About Kimberley

Kimberley Slown is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on therapy that centers the person in the room and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to identity and relationships. Kimberley aims to create a calm space where clients can talk without judgment and begin to make practical changes.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. She uses these methods to help people process trauma, improve how they handle strong emotions, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills alongside deeper emotional work.

Kimberley has spent many years helping people with a wide range of concerns. These include ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, body image, parenting strain, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, blended family challenges, and communication problems.

In Tennessee she works with adolescents and adults to set clear, achievable goals. She encourages small steps and regular check-ins so progress is visible. The work can involve skill building, processing painful memories, and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Choosing to start therapy is a meaningful step. Kimberley asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Kimberley's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others. This approach can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set their own goals so sessions follow what matters most to the person in front of them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley will work with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine approaches and adjust the focus as progress is reviewed together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss practical preferences and scheduling during the matching and booking steps so sessions align with daily routines.
