About me

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to explore my profile; I am grateful!

My approach to counseling high school students for over 10 years, was based on solution-focused brief counseling, reality and cognitive-behavioral counseling theories. Services delivered included group counseling, individual counseling, classroom guidance lessons, consultation, and collaboration. By using one of the theories and services, I helped students identify and develop plans to confront issues, thoughts, and/or emotions that may interfere with their educational goals. Additionally, I prepared students for life after high school with academic planning and career advisement. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, my approach to counseling continues to be solution focused and from a strengths-based approach. I believe the clients with whom I have the honor of working, have the answers within them and my role is to partner with them in identifying the solution so they can live more aligned and joyful lives.

My experiences have afforded me the opportunity to work closely with individuals to provide support and counseling to young people and adults in the areas of, depression, self-esteem, family/life stress, anxiety as well as emotional management. As a counselor, my desire is to support individuals as they work toward wellness.
I am currently a PhD student at North Carolina State University. My decision to pursue a doctoral degree was fueled by my desire to be as equipped as possible to best serve each person with whom I work.

I absolutely LOVE Mrs. Midgette! She's a great listener and advice giver in the best ways, in my opinion. She's caring and makes sure I understand what she says with my way of thinking. She has definitely changed my perspective on a lot of life situations I've been in that we've discussed thus far which has for sure been beneficial to me on a daily basis. I always look forward to our next session as soon as the current one ends!

Ms. Karimah is AMAZING! She really listens to you and makes you dig deep into your own feelings so you can see the root. I’ve began to realize somethings about myself that I was unaware of before talking to her. She’s also very uplifting & gives a spiritual/biblical outlook to my situations which I love! I’ve told her things that I have never told anyone. I really trust & have confidence in her.

I love Karimah’s authenticity, flexibility and transparency. My relationship with myself (most important) and my boyfriend has improved significantly. Karimah has helped me recognize that I shouldn’t look for validation and love outside of myself. She helps me realize that I have all the tools I need to be successful and even when I feel like I’m stumbling, I’m still on the right track to be my best self.

Karimah helps me balance the ins and outs of my life and is great to talk to. I feel like she genuinely cares about me and wants to help me think through ways I can better myself and my life

Karimah has been working with my son for a couple of months and I’ve seen a noticeable difference in his mood during this time. He’s more engaged, interested and positive than I’ve seen him in awhile. He looks forward to their chats! She’s responsive to us and I’m exceptionally grateful for her expertise, care and concern.

I have really meshed well with Karimah. I feel grateful that she made me at ease from the get-go. She has a way of directing me to my own answers: to see my own truth. She is very compassionate, patient, personable, observant; all the things a good counselor should be.

Karimah has been great with my boyfriend and I! Being that we are in a long distance relationship, she allows me to facetime him while we are in our session so he can be in our the session. It’s been amazing and it’s really helping us grow.
