About me
Hi! I am an LCSW licensed in the state of Virginia. I’ve been a social worker for10 years but have been working in the mental health field for almost 13 years. I have experience working with a variety of ages from adolescents to older adults. I have worked with people covering a range of concerns including depression and anxiety, social issues and family/parent concerns.
I believe everyone deserves to be treated with empathy, decency and respect. I believe in building a professional and therapeutic alliance is our greatest tool for change. My approach includes using techniques from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and existential theories but will also adapt to the individual.
You’ve already taken the initial steps towards healing and I look forward to joining and supporting you along the way.
Blessings & light,
Kim

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kimberly Kenser. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I appreciate her ability to guide me in identifying my priority problem and creating a plan to work towards resolving it in our sessions. Her knowledge and expertise in her field make me feel confident in her abilities to help me achieve my goals. I feel supported and motivated to make progress with her guidance.
Great job!
Kimberly is an amazing therapist. She makes things to comfortable, while finding a plan that works for each individual. she is so easy talk to, with so many helpful solutions. she takes things at a pace that works instead of the pressure of implementing it all at once. she’s helped so much.
Kimberly is an amazing therapist, and she’s also very relatable. She has made my first time in therapy nothing less than a positive experience for sure. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.
She’s awesome

Those should have been completely agree. I clicked too fast.
Very professional and easy to talk to. She has a good soul.
I really love Kimberly! I was seen at my local hospital and went through several weeks of intensive outpatient therapy. There's no one I connected with as much as I do with Kimberly Kenser. I am so glad I found her, and I'm so glad to be back on teencounseling.com!
Kimberly is awesome and has changed my ideas about what therapy is. She makes observations about what I tell her without inserting personal opinions. She also addresses my concerns in the same way. She kind and hasn’t judged me for the situations I’ve told her about.
Wonderful counselor and person. She listens intently, cares about all aspects of your care, and is detailed in her follow up and care throughout the week. Highly recommend!
She is really nice and knows how listens and has a great heart and smile.
I have never done any kind of therapy before and working with Kimberly Kenser had eased my hesitation to lean on someone outside of the family. The situation I am currently in life just became a huge weight and she has helped me work through it. I am happy I took this step forward to a place I was unsure of.
Kimberly listens to all aspects my issues. I wouldn't be on the road to good things if it weren't for her.
Very sweet and easy to talk to!
Wonderful!!!
Working with Kimberly has been amazing! She’s knowledgeable, respectful, and so supportive.
She is amazing and a great listener!
Kimberly is a compassionate and insightful counselor whose wisdom has been invaluable to me in my journey. She's done a great job of pulling me out of the anxious, depressed, angry mindset that I've had, and has shown me a more holistic and reasonable way to view my relationships and the world at large. If you find yourself paired with her, you will not regret it.
Kimberly has been great! I have talked with her for almost four months and I have seen huge improvements in my mental health. I have struggled with anxiety and depression for almost 20 years and this is the first year I feel like I am in control of both. I highly recommend giving Kimberly a chance.
Kimberly has been exactly what my daughter and I needed. It’s been a really tough year in so many ways. She’s helped provide support, care, and a path ahead. Awesome!
Kimberly is very kind and is easy to talk to. Never rushes me into diving into the past if I’m not ready rather she encourages me to talk about what’s on my mind. Understanding of my sometimes erratic thoughts and has provided me with techniques to calm my anxiety. I enjoy speaking with her. She has a special kind of softness and empathy about her. Highly recommend!
She has been exactly what my daughter needed during these surreal times, thrilled to have found her.

Kimberly is very understanding and really works with you to figure out the best way to help you accomplish your goals! Very enjoyable person!
Kimberly is awesome. I appreciate her attentiveness and sensitivity. She is good about giving me the space to explore my feelings and reactions to things. I recommend her highly!
Kim was exactly what I needed. The struggles of the world didn’t magically go away but I felt heard, and my worries were lightened.
I’ve only been in sessions with Kimberly for a few weeks, but it has really made a difference. She is very attentive and listens to my concerns. She is great about checking in on me during the week. She has been great about scheduling sessions around my hectic schedule. She has provided me with so much encouragement in such a short amount of time. I feel heard and understood. I’m grateful to have her as my counselor.
So far she's been great! Very understanding and relatable. I don't feel any judgement which is nice and she doesn't put pressure on my to come up with conversation.
Kimberly is precious! I just adore her. She is wonderful and prompt in her responses and always receptive and sensitive to what I have to share. I truly appreciate her!
Kimberly has been extremely professional and insightful. She’s a great listener and quickly identified areas that needed real attention. She showed concerned for getting to the root of an issue and working toward healing. She’s been a pleasure to work with during a difficult time.
Kim is a very good listener. One thing that I really like about her is that she remains neutral.
Kim is always so attentive and compassionate. Seems to know when I need to hear from her too! There is never anything I don’t feel I can say and Kim always responds quickly and I feel by my side through the day to day (sometimes hour by hour issues)!
She is one of the best counselors I have seen. She is empathetic and kind and has great solutions to work through communication issues. She is balanced and fair and just wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her.
