Kimberly Mena

Kimberly Mena is a licensed mental health counselor who blends trauma-informed care with culturally responsive practice to support adults facing a wide range of life challenges. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - which indicate state licensure to provide professional mental health services. With four years of clinical experience and the perspective of a decorated veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and Army, she understands how intense life events can shape identity and functioning and how steady support can foster recovery.

She works with people managing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions, and she also offers coaching to help clarify purpose and goals. Her additional focus areas include kink and alternative sex culture, blended family issues, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, first responder stress, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy, and life purpose exploration.

Kimberly uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and polyvagal-informed somatic strategies, along with creative experiential interventions that attend to mind-body connection. Clients often say she creates a compassionate yet empowering space where therapy honors lived experience, strengthens personal voice, and supports gradual, meaningful change. She provides telehealth services to adults across Florida and Texas and offers flexible scheduling to meet clients where they are.
