PROJECT IMPACT COUNSELING, LLC

Hello, my name is Carol "Sue" Kimbro, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with clients from different STATES AND COUNTRIES! If you are reading my bio, you are looking for someone to help you with a problem or struggle you are having and it is important to find a counselor that you can relate to, someone that is easy to talk to, and someone that you can make a personal connection with, so please read on because I think you have found that person! I am very compassionate, easy to talk to and very caring. I work "flexible" hours and usually can fit you in when you need to be seen, even if there is no opening on my schedule! But please finish reading the rest of my bio.... maybe you have had the problem for a long time and kept thinking it would just go away on its own, or the struggle has become so intense you have decided you need help. I have worked in the mental health field for over 16 years, and I think I can help, or I will certainly try!

I am a first-generation college graduate, which I am extremely proud of because it was exceedingly difficult to start college with two small children. I am remarried and now those two children are now grown, my oldest son is Gay, and my youngest son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome when he was five years old. I made the decision to go into the field of counseling, because I grew up in a very chaotic, and mentally/physically abusive home, where my siblings and I were the targets, where abuse was handed out almost daily. Therefore, I married two different abusive men, and had to leave both due to domestic violence. Furthermore, I have experienced a lot of personal loss and grief, my mother and brother both passed at the age of 57, and my father at 59 all from respiratory diseases, my mom from COPD and dad and brother lung cancer. I have also lost two sisters, one at infancy and the other due to long term drug and alcohol abuse.

As a professional counselor I have worked with individuals as young as 5 years and as old as 80. My experience has included hardships such as being a single parent, grief and loss, coping with life challenges, depression, LGBTQ, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), coping skills, self-confidence, motivation and goal setting, communication problems, anxiety, panic attacks, bi-polar disorder, obsessive compulsive behaviors, domestic violence, anger management issues, parenting issues, parenting with children with disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and of course, relationship issues and challenges, self-esteem, women's issues, Previously I worked in Post-Secondary Education as a Career Counselor, and I have been an advocate for women in domestic violence relationships and for children with disabilities. My counseling modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused, Mindfulness, (ACT) Acceptance and Commitment, Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused, Person Centered, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Family Systems, Reality Therapy and Women’s Issues.

I enjoy helping people reach a point in their lives where they finally feel some relief in telling their story. I feel it really rewarding helping people through the day-to-day struggles they are trying to work through. I have been through a lot of things in my own life, and I want to give back in some way to help others. I want to make a difference!

I love working in this profession because I feel I can make a difference in people's lives.
