Kimberly Richards , LCSW, LMSW

Kimberly Richards is a Christian and a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan who brings 11 years of outpatient mental health experience to her clinical work. She holds both an LCSW and an LMSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LMSW stands for Licensed Master Social Worker - and combines professional training with a faith-informed perspective to support people through difficult seasons.

Her practice has included work with a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, adult and childhood trauma, emotional/verbal/sexual abuse, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, PTSD, and grief and loss. Kimberly approaches each person with warmth and interaction, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients identify practical steps forward.

Her clinical method blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, all described in the context of Biblical principles and God’s love when that is important to the individual. Kimberly frames therapy as a collaborative journey and considers it a privilege to accompany people as they heal and move toward positive change. She works from the view that each person is the expert in their own life and partners with clients to build on their strengths.
