About Kimberly Ragas-Matalamaki

Welcome, I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana. I have several years working with clients of diverse backgrounds and cultures. It is my daily commitment to provide professional punctuality, expertise and an array of resources to ensure a stable, safe and healthy environment for my clients. This will ensure that each client continues to gain growth, daily wellness and mental health assistance. Although I am open to working with clients of all ages, my current focus is on individuals from early adulthood to geriatrics.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, coping with grief and loss, life changes, , and family issues. I pride myself on making sure each client is in a non judgement atmosphere, and an empowering environment which allows them the support they need to effectively express themselves and communicate in a manner best suited for their needs.
Together, we will create an effective working treatment plan that would assess a way to evaluate growth, discuss results, and provide feedback that would assist with upward success. I am here to support you as you take that step. Contact me and together we can start your journey to a better, healthier tomorrow.
