About me
Hello, my name is Carol "Sue" Kimbro, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. If you are looking for someone to help you with a problem or struggle you are having and it is important to find a counselor that you can relate to, someone that is easy to talk to, and someone that you can make a personal connection with, I think you have found that person! I am very compassionate, easy to talk to and very caring. I work "flexible" hours and usually can fit you in when you need to be seen, even if there is no opening on my schedule! But please finish reading the rest of my bio.... maybe you have had the problem for a long time and kept thinking it would just go away on its own, or the struggle has become so intense you have decided you need help. I have worked in the mental health field for over 16 years, and I think I can help, or I will certainly try! I am a first-generation college graduate, which I am extremely proud of because it was exceedingly difficult to start college with two small children. I am remarried and now those two children are now grown, my oldest son is Gay, and my youngest son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome when he was five years old. I made the decision to go into the field of counseling, because I grew up in a very chaotic, and mentally/physically abusive home, where my siblings and I were the targets, where abuse was handed out almost daily. Therefore, I married two different abusive men, and had to leave both due to domestic violence. Furthermore, I have experienced a lot of personal loss and grief, my mother and brother both passed at the age of 57, and my father at 59 all from respiratory diseases, my mom from COPD and dad and brother lung cancer. I have also lost two sisters, one at infancy and the other due to long term drug and alcohol abuse.

Approach
In my practice I have utilized several modalities. However, I seem to use Client Centered, or “Humanistic Counseling “ a great deal because I believe in people and I believe in their potential as human beings to achieve their goals in life. I accept people where they are in life and work from that place. I also use Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It is very helpful with many mental health disorders, especially to help clients learn new adaptive experiences to replace maladaptive learning processes. I have also started implementing Mindfulness counseling into most of my therapy and really seen a lot of benefit to my clients. And, I try to use positive psychology and homework to help rebuild individuals that have been torn down by life in general.
