I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving the state of Rhode Island. For the past 10 years, I have helped people identify and deconstruct difficult or harmful thought patterns, resulting in positive outcomes in their emotions and behavior.
My experience comes from a variety of settings including schools, day treatment facilities, and mental health agencies. I have provided direct mental health and behavioral counseling to children, teens, and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-concept and self-esteem, conflict resolution, behavior issues in children, bullying, and relationship and family issues.
I believe your core beliefs are informed by your early life experiences. They are deeply rooted in how you view yourself, your environment, and your future, along with your beliefs about these factors. I strive to treat our time with compassion and respect.
I approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity to multi-cultural factors. My therapy and style approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness.
My top priority is to meet you where you are and fine-tune treatment and my approach to what works best for us as we meet your goals. Whether you are working towards a mindset shift or improved daily functioning, I hope we can work together to achieve it.
Working towards a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of strength and bravery. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to empower and support you. Let's get started!

I appreciate Ms. Kim's patience, honesty, professionalism, and dedication. I am grateful to have found her at a time when I am truly ready to examine myself and take the steps necessary to improve the areas of my life that require improving. She is a wonderful listening, holds me accountable, and assigns the life work (not homework). I need to show up as the best version of myself.

I’ve been doing therapy with Kimberly Mays for about 3 weeks now and it’s greatly improved the quality of my life already. I was I had started sooner. I can’t recommend this woman enough, she’s so knowledgeable and kind. I feel so heard and supported during our therapy sessions and from the info she gives me to apply to my life outside of therapy. She’s wonderful at what she does and you can tell she loves her profession.
