Kimberly Herring, LMHC

Kimberly Herring is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. As an LMHC she holds a state credential to provide professional mental health counseling and has worked across a wide range of settings, including outpatient and inpatient care, nonprofit programs, and specialized trauma services. Her client work has spanned adolescents through older adults and has included victims of crime, people who have experienced sexual assault, inmates, and individuals with single or co-occurring diagnoses.

Much of her early practice focused on rape crisis and trauma recovery at a community mental health center, and a large portion of her career has been in the nonprofit arena. She brings an eclectically informed approach to treatment, drawing from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic techniques, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Kimberly is particularly invested in women's issues while remaining open to supporting people with a wide variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting and career transitions, and more. She often encourages clients to stretch themselves, to learn new skills, and to build on existing strengths. In practice she balances active skill teaching with moments of listening and normalization when that is what a client needs most.

Her collaborative style begins by meeting clients where they are and continues by partnering with them to define goals and develop practical tools. The overarching aim is to empower people to reconnect with their values and to move toward a more authentic, whole sense of self.
