Kim McClanahan, LPC, LPCC — Therapist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Kim!

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor currently accepting new clients. Reaching out takes courage, so I offer a safe, encouraging space. My approach is personalized to you by offering compassionate, judgment-free support to help you move toward healing and growth. I’m here to walk through the hard stuff with you.

My focus

I work with individuals of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. I support those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and behavioral issues.

My approach

I pull from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Integrative Therapy to help you build coping skills, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and grow emotional resilience. My style is flexible and personalized, so sessions feel supportive, effective, and empowering. Think of it as a collaborative journey where we figure things out together.

My communication style

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive, with directness when needed. I create an environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard, all while staying on track toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always had a passion for listening, understanding, and helping others navigate life's ups and downs. My own experience with therapy showed me how powerful it can be to have someone in your corner. I'm committed to breaking the stigma around mental health and advocating for everyone to feel heard and respected.

My goals for you

Together, we'll set realistic, meaningful goals that help you make progress at your own pace. Think of it as creating a roadmap for your journey, with plenty of room to celebrate each step along the way.

Our first session

Your first session will feel like a relaxed, friendly chat—zero judgment, just a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping to achieve, and how we can work together to make real progress. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions, share your thoughts, and just be yourself.
