Kim Marie Vaz-Deville

My communication style

I work with people who feel unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns. I listen with care and ask clear questions that help you hear yourself. I offer direct, honest feedback, and I check in often so our work stays useful and connected to the real concerns in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I came to this work after years of sitting with people during hard moments in their lives. I saw how relief grows when someone feels heard without pressure. My path formed through community work, loss, and repair. I stay committed because real change starts when people no longer feel alone with their story.

My goals for you

We set goals together based on what you want to change or understand. I break each step into manageable parts and check in often so the work stays useful. As your needs shift, we adjust the plan. I help you stay focused by showing where you are making progress and what supports your next step.

Our first session

In our first session, I asked about what brings you in and what feels most urgent. You can speak at your own pace, and I will help sort what needs attention now from what can wait. Many people feel nervous at the start. I take time to make the space calm and easy to enter so you can settle in.

I identify as...

• Black or African American
