Hi, I’m kim knox.
I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and feeling truly seen. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning we'll work together in a way that honors your unique story, strengths, and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'll meet you where you are and support you in moving toward the life you want to create.
I often think of therapy as a walk home. You lead the way, and I walk beside you—offering support through the difficult moments, celebrating your growth, and helping you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the pain.
If you're ready to begin that walk, I'd be honored to join you.
My Background
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University, where I received the Hanshew Clinical Excellence Award in recognition of my work as a counseling intern. I was also selected as a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Fellow, receiving specialized training to better serve marginalized communities.
As someone born and raised on the south side of Atlanta, I'm deeply committed to serving the community that shaped me. My hope is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to move beyond surviving toward truly thriving.
Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in spending time with loved ones, exploring nature, traveling, and photography. Many of the photos throughout this website are ones I've taken myself—a reflection of the peace, beauty, and perspective I hope you'll experience throughout your own healing journey.
