Kimberly Ramsay, LCSW
A Safe Space for Real Conversations
Hi, I'm Kimberly!
Licensed in IL
With over 11 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have helped individuals navigate challenges such as addiction, career difficulties, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and spiritual growth. I hold specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), REACH, and coaching which enables me to provide tailored support for those struggling with these issues. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including caregivers, veterans, and families, giving me a deep understanding of the unique dynamics and needs that come with each group.
In our work together, we will address the obstacles you face in a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space, allowing you to share your thoughts and emotions freely. My goal is to help you build the confidence and motivation needed to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. By focusing on empowering you to become the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself, I will guide and support you through every step of your journey toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Our team brings together a rich mix of personal and professional experiences shaped by different cultures, life changes, and the obstacles we’ve overcome. Many of us know what it’s like to face tough times, and those experiences give us a deeper understanding of the healing process. We know that growth is possible, no matter where you start, and we’re here to walk alongside you as you take each step. The lessons we’ve learned through our own healing inspire us to help others find clarity, confidence, and hope. We welcome and respect every individual’s story and are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space where your healing journey can truly begin.
