About Kimberly Stratton

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate, experienced counseling to support individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and heal from past experiences. I specialize in addressing issues like social anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual’s unique journey. I understand the courage it takes to seek support and am committed to creating a safe, understanding environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.

I have extensive expertise in helping clients with trauma and abuse by using EMDR therapy. I have several years of experience assisting clients through mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, along with issues that are often prevalent in dysfunctional relationships and families. I offer supportive guidance for those experiencing challenges ranging from workplace stress, to serious depression, and to personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style emphasizes respect, understanding, and collaborative healing, helping clients move toward greater emotional well-being and personal empowerment.

“Kimberly is so easy to talk to. I feel comfortable enough talking to her like I’m talking to a good friend, but I also feel confident in her professional knowledge. She’s kind and smart and listens. I haven’t felt the need to overexplain and I’ve never felt forgotten about. She checks in, and helps set up a solid treatment plan with goals. In the short amount of time that I’ve been in therapy, I have been able to apply alot of our goals in my day to day life, and process my past.”

“is still there for me when i don’t have time”

“Kimberly is absolutely amazing at giving a safe place to talk. She is personable without taking sides, helpful without taking over, and kind.”

“I have seen a few therapists in my life and I always ended up quitting because I didn’t think they could push me enough and in the right direction. Kimberly clocked me immediately and I opened up bigger than ever in my first session. If you need to feel heard, validated, and challenged to make change, she’s the one!”

“Perfect therapeutic match! ❤️”

“I'm moving forward with her help.”

“I feel seen and understood. I would not have been able to make positive changes in my life without her support. I am grateful to have that support when it was missing from my life after childhood trauma and the grief of losing my son. My life will forever be better because of Kim.”
