Kimberly Robinson
Life can often be difficult, causing individuals to feel lonely and overwhelmed. Many of my clients begin therapy because they are struggling with an emotional void and they are wondering how to live their best life. My therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, strength based and solution focused. The strong therapeutic relationship I work to cultivate is often the catalyst for my clients to become more self aware, insightful and in control of their life. I have over 22 years experience working with adults, children and families. It has been an honor to work side by side with and guide clients through challenges that seem impossible to overcome, including depression, anxiety, grief, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, substance use and unhealthy family dynamics. It would be a privilege to help you to discover your inherent strengths so you can begin to feel better about yourself and your life.

My name is Jacqueline and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Western North Carolina. I have had a wide range of experience with individuals, couples, and families. I have found that the relationship I share with my clients is critically important for developing trust and creating a space where clients feel heard and supported. My clients would describe me as friendly, warm, and laidback. I tailor my approach to the needs of my clients and I am always open to feedback. Some of my favorite treatment modalities include ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR. I have found that incorporating a variety of methods and strategies helps my clients solve the problems they are experiencing now, while also addressing and understanding the deeper roots that led them to where they are today. I have a had a lot of experience working with clients going through significant life changes and stressors. This may include individuals struggling with identity challenges, relationship issues, life phase changes, and more. These challenges are often exacerbated for individuals with a history of trauma and I am always mindful to help my clients identify and address the wounds of the past so they can move forward with their lives. It takes work to make positive change in your life, but I hope to help make that work a little easier for my clients and provide them with tools they can use for the rest of their lives.

Hello, and good to see you here! I come from eight years in doctors' offices and am a licensed clinical social worker and certified health coach. I have always known that helping people was the right path for me. Along the way, I have met and served many different kinds of people. I respect every person and only aim to get you where you would like to be. As a social worker, I see you as the expert of yourself and am determined to help you get what you want. I bring to the table excellent diagnostic skills and a focus on evidence-based intervention with an approach that is always centered around you, the client! I would say that the vast majority of my experience as a therapist lies with folks who have depressive and anxiety symptoms and who have experienced trauma. While trauma is a part of life, the past can affect us right now. Healing from trauma is possible, and your path will be your own. I am here to walk beside you on that path, using techniques that are effective and responsive to your needs as well as based in science. As a health coach, I can offer you elevated well being. Coaching harnesses your motivation and inner wisdom to help you meet goals in any areas of your life that feel off-balance or need attention. Health coaching can be effective and powerful. It can also help you implement goals and treatment plans from other professionals or meet important health demands that may impact your future--all while breaking down barriers and tapping into strengths you may have never noticed. I hope that my authentic compassion and desire to positively impact the the world and you as an individual will be evident from the first time we talk and throughout our work together. Let's get started!

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Teachey counselor?
Before seeing your Teachey therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Teachey therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.
Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Teachey licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Teachey counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.
Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
