Karen Kimmons, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor | Virtual/Telehealth Only
Hi there! I believe that meaningful change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming or you’ve been struggling for a long time. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I offer telehealth counseling to adults, adolescents (12+), and couples. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, sexual dysfunction, and a variety of other emotional and psychological challenges.
In addition, I specialize in in trauma, relationships, and sexuality. As a Sex Therapy clinician, I work with individuals and couples around concerns such as sexual dysfunction, desire differences, intimacy, sexual identity, sexual pain, sexual trauma, and sexual addiction. I believe that sexuality is an important part of overall well-being and that therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these concerns.
I am also a Level 1-Trained Therapist in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an approach that helps people understand the different “parts” of themselves that may carry difficult emotions, beliefs, or protective roles. IFS offers a compassionate way to explore patterns and experiences while developing greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and healing. I integrate IFS with other evidence-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential therapy.
I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from LeTourneau University and have spent more than 20 years living abroad in Africa and Europe. I am fluent in both French and English, and I enjoy working with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and life experiences.
Outside of therapy, I love hiking in the mountains, watching movies, and cheering wildly for my Minnesota Vikings with my husband and kids. I look forward to connecting with you!
