About Dr. Kimberly Athuman

As a licensed therapist in Iowa, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My professional journey is rooted in understanding and addressing mental health concerns like depression, parenting difficulties, and ADHD. I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.

My approach centers on empowering individuals to recognize their inherent strengths and navigate emotional challenges with resilience. I strive to offer culturally responsive care that honors each person’s unique background and lived experience. Through collaborative, evidence-based practices, I aim to support clients in developing insights, building coping skills, and moving toward their wellness goals.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy and am dedicated to walking alongside my clients with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can feel heard, validated, and empowered in your healing journey.

“Dr. Athuman was very easy to talk too. My first time speaking with her she had feeling comfortable as if I was speaking with a family member whom I’ve known my whole life. Strongly recommend her.”

“She feels very personable while still keeping us on track and professional. I just feel a lot more uplifted after our sessions so far!”

“Dr. Kim has been great on helping me find ways to process my overthinking. In just two sessions I have seen so much improvement.”

“Love my session”

“Dr. Athuman is authentic, attentive and our first session was good. Looking forward to future sessions.”

“Dr. Athuman makes me feel very heard and very seen. She picks up quickly on what my struggles are and responds in a way that lets me know she truly understands me. I appreciate her so much!”

“She is awesome! When I talk to her I feel like I am talking to a friend vs a therapist!!!”

“I look forward to my sessions with Dr.Athuman every week. She is open and honest and I feel like I’ve been speaking with a long time friend, I cannot recommend her enough”

“She is great”

“She is excellent. I am new to therapy. My only hesitation is if my therapist is a good fit for me. That will take time to discern. She is skilled, available, and professional. I just need to keep going to see if this is the right fit for me. Not criticizing the therapist as this is totally subjective. I think we are going is a good direction so far. Super receptive, no nonsense, and yet highly empathetic and willing to really listen. I’m happy with this experience so far. Therapy is a weird when it’s your first time.”

“I love my therapist”

“Dr. Athuman is knowledgeable, kind, and personable. She was able to form a bond with my child who is very introverted and standoffish to most people. I really appreciate the progress they have made so far.”

“I was very nervous about putting myself out there but it has been freeing to finally have my past out in the light. It seems to be that it isn't in the shadows it hasn't popped into to my thoughts like it used to I can finally put it behind me and move on.”

“I am heard, seen, and validated. She is authentic and I have made progress internally in just a few appointments. This was the best decision I could have made for myself”

“Truly awesome. Listens to me and my concerns and gives useful and practical guidance on how I can help myself. I would recommend Dr. Athuman to anyone”
