About Me
Hi, I’m Kim Lennon, LMFT. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me a self-love igniter and an emotional healer. I help people who want to feel better about themselves and their relationships, but feel stuck and not sure what to do. I help people gain freedom from the core issues that are weighing them down. I guide them on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and reprocessing old memories and emotional wounds so they can feel more confident, in control, and fulfilled in their lives and relationships.
I am passionate about helping people heal old emotional wounds, learn about themselves, gain confidence, freedom, and live rich, meaningful lives. I have done my own healing work and found that it’s my calling to help others.
Some of My Core Values
Courage
This is a big one especially if you’re going to share your deepest, darkest secrets with someone that you swore yourself you’d never tell anyone! I understand therapy can be scary and trust is not easy for many people. I am not pushy and I will take as much time as you need to feel safe with me.
Unconditional Positive Regard
I think this one is my greatest gift I’ve been given. I see something loveable in every client I meet no matter what they’ve done in their past. I know that “hurt people, hurt people.” In my office, therapy is a place for compassion, forgiveness, self-discovery, and healing. I have no judgment, only unconditional positive regard for every client I meet.
Connection
This is what it’s all about. I provide a loving place for people to feel heard, seen, and understood and that they are no longer alone. It’s an honor for me to be invited into others’ lives in which they bare their souls. It’s beautiful to see people transform from a place of dark loneliness to one of light, freedom, and feeling connected to others and the world. I am but a channel of healing as I have gone through my own healing transformation. It’s my calling to share the gift of healing and connection with others.
My treatment philosophy and methodology
I’m not a “friend for hire.” I’m here to talk about the tough stuff. I am kind, loving, caring, compassionate and patient. I’m serious about what I do and passionate about helping people heal from old emotional wounds that are holding them back from thriving in their lives.
My ideal client is willing to do the difficult work that takes time, courage, and commitment to achieve deep emotional healing.
