Rooted for Growth was created to provide compassionate, client-centered counseling to individuals and families in communities. I will accomplish this by helping individuals and families grow roots and by encouraging clients to explore and utilize any available resource in their communities including family, friends, and faith-based services. I seek to work with children, adults, and families to address issues they are experiencing such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relational challenges in order to provide the help and guidance that is needed. I will meet each client where they are and help them work through past and current pain to build a more balanced and manageable life. My goal is to support individuals and families in building healthier, more resilient lives across generations. My personal passion is to strengthen communities by increasing access to compassionate, high quality mental health care.
My name is Kimberly Watkins. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who cares deeply about helping you make your way. Being a Kentucky native and born in a small rural community, I understand the challenges these communities face in gaining quality mental health care. Therefore, after college and getting married, I pursued higher education to fulfill my passion of becoming a counselor. Along the way, I have helped others in various capacities including displaced children and teen moms, working at a homeless shelter and a grief center, teaching SEL classes to children in a school setting, caring for physically challenged children, and providing school-based and outpatient therapy for children and adults in multiple mental health agencies and schools. I have also worked as a Group Therapist for teens/preteens in a Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient Program. Through all of these experiences, I have gained a vast understanding and knowledge of the challenges individuals and families face. I want to continue on this journey by providing private therapy services to individuals and families. Please contact me so I may be of service to you with the challenges you are facing.
