Hello! I'm Kim Ferren and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience, licensed in the state of Texas. I have a Master's in Counseling and have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I've worked in the clinical setting, in private practice, and in the in-patient hospital setting.
My therapeutic approach can best be described as client-focused, with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems. It's important to me to provide a calm and safe environment where you know you will be listened to and not judged. The client/therapist relationship is a key component in successful therapy, so I strive to establish a good rapport, then we will work as a team to establish goals and move forward.
Life presents many challenges, most of which we can confidently deal with; but there are times when we get stuck, or we've been deeply wounded, and we just don't know what to do. Asking for help is a great first step in finding your way through the tough moments.

She is very good at caring for you and your needs, she offers good steps to getting out of your trials, and is very good at listening and dissecting problems and finding solutions.

Kim has changed my perspective on life. I started working with her after a heartbreaking separation. Every session, we uncover and work through hidden traumas and any self limiting beliefs. I feel totally safe, seen, comfortable and completely understood. I feel a huge sense of relief after every phone call. I can’t recommend Kim + Better Help enough.
