Most counseling could be short-term. All counseling should be practical.
If you're facing a difficult season, you're not alone. There is help available through God and his people - and one of the forms that can take is counseling.
Far from the popular image of a person on a couch talking into the air, while a shrink strokes his or her chin, takes notes, and says "See you next week," biblical counseling can help bring real clarity and change to a tough situation.

Kim is comfortable counseling people of all spiritual backgrounds, including those with no particular faith affiliation.
Kim also offers "walk and talk" counseling. Any sessions can be conducted while walking one of several routes. Clients always make the call to walk or not, depending on the weather or their energy that day. Walking can be beneficial for a number of reasons and often makes a session more productive.
Kim sees people in a Montgomery County office two Thursdays a month. She also does phone and video counseling.
