Kimberly Summers— Board-Certified Mental Health Coach | Professional Life & Christian Mental Health Coach | Trauma Coach | SYMBIS Facilitator
Her approach recognizes that sometimes people are not looking for a diagnosis—they are looking for a safe place to talk, explore what is keeping them stuck, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical ways to move toward the life they want to create. She is passionate about helping individuals and couples move forward with purpose, confidence, and hope.
Using supportive dialogue, practical coaching strategies, and faith-based principles when desired, she helps clients explore life challenges, recognize patterns, strengthen relationships, establish meaningful goals, and create practical steps toward a healthy, future-focused life. Mental health coaching is generally forward-focused and goal-oriented. It provides clients with a supportive environment to explore where they are, identify where they would like to go, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.
When a client's needs extend beyond the appropriate scope of coaching, Kimberly encourages collaboration with or referral to an appropriately licensed mental health or medical provider. Mental health coaching is not psychotherapy. Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders.
Outside of work, Kimberly loves being a mama of six and a proud grandmother, watching college football, traveling with her husband, and serving in her church and community. Faith, family, laughter, and helping others are at the heart of both her personal and professional life.
