Professional Bio

Hi I’m Kimberly and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I have years of experience in supporting clients as they navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is primarily person-centered, integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strength-based interventions to meet each client’s unique needs.

I especially enjoy working with individuals experiencing periods of transition, self-exploration, or emotional distress. These moments often open the door to profound growth, resilience, and self-understanding. I deeply value the trust and openness that emerge within the therapeutic relationship and feel truly honored to witness each person’s journey of healing and transformation.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative and empowering process that offers a safe, affirming space for clients to explore their experiences, build self-awareness, and develop tools for personal growth and emotional well-being. Human experiences are beautifully complex. Clients can feel grateful yet sad, strong yet vulnerable, or hopeful yet afraid, and all of these emotions are valid and worth exploring.

To every new client, I promise to create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you work toward your goals.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Velazquez, LMHC
