Kim Collins, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Kim!

I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, cope with stress, and work through depression. My approach is client-centered and collaborative—each session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace.

My focus

I help adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxious thoughts, self-doubt, or uncertainty about their next steps. Many are navigating big life changes—starting a career, ending a relationship, moving, or redefining who they are. Together, we'll work through the weight of past experiences, strengthen your coping skills, and rebuild your confidence.

My approach

I create a space that feels safe, nurturing, mindful, and trustworthy—a place where you can feel truly heard, seen, and supported. I draw from mindfulness-based practices, strength-based therapy, CBT, and ACT. My style is gentle, approachable, and collaborative, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

My communication style

I prioritize clear and open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental, and approachable environment. I practice active listening and offer opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, supportive, and patient.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you and identify goals that reflect your values—whether that's improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing another objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve, and we'll adapt our plan to keep it meaningful.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a safe and supportive environment. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy, and begin building a trusting relationship that allows you to feel heard and understood. It's completely normal to feel nervous, and I'm here to guide you through each step.
