Kimberly G. Ayertey
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 28 years of clinical experience across various settings, including both private and public sectors such as psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, corrections, residential treatment, school-based environments, in-home services, and currently, private practice. I've likely encountered a wide range of situations, allowing me to effectively “meet clients where they are” and guide them on their journey toward recovery and wellness. I focus on assisting individuals who aim to improve their mental health, emotional resilience, and general well-being. My methods are customized to address the distinct needs of various groups, such as students, young adults, professionals, and those experiencing life transitions. My communication style is centered around the individual and rooted in compassion. I appreciate the diversity and unique experiences that everyone brings to therapy. My goal is to foster a warm and nurturing relationship with you, helping to enhance your strengths, achieve your goals, and create a meaningful life that aligns with your values and desires.

First session
We’ll begin the therapeutic process by assessing your clinical needs and identifying strengths and assets that will support you to achieve your treatment goals. We’ll get to know each other and discuss your expectations for the counseling process.
Strengths
I work primarily with adults and adolescents incorporating different treatment modalities to meet the needs of the client. My clinical focus on helping individuals, couples, and families build on their strengths, while assisting them in learning skills to improve the areas they want to work on.
Ideal clients
I love working with people who are motivated to get their lives back on track. My clients are eager to improve, but either don't yet have the tools needed OR those who need new tools to make this goal a reality.
Origin story
I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can be heard, understood, and supported through life’s difficult moments. Sometimes the first step is simply having someone sit with you, listen without judgment, and help you make sense of what you’re going through. In my 28 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes. What continues to inspire me is seeing people begin to recognize their strengths, find new ways to cope, and feel more hopeful about what’s possible. My goal is to offer you a warm, honest space where we can do that work together.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I use an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Motivational Interviewing.
