About

Kimberly Mena is a licensed mental health professional and National Certified Counselor who brings clinical training and lived experience to her practice. A decorated veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and Army, she focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and transitional life challenges. She works with adults and integrates mind-body strategies alongside talk-based interventions to address complex responses to stress and loss.

Her approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative techniques, and polyvagal-informed somatic work. Kimberly also attends to relationship, family, and identity concerns, including blended family dynamics, codependency, and issues common to first responders and veterans.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, pacing that honors each person’s readiness, and practical skills for daily life. She offers telehealth services across Florida and Texas and supports people navigating chronic illness, sexual and kink-affirming topics, financial stress, and the search for meaning and connection. Kimberly aims to create a respectful therapeutic space where individuals can explore patterns, build coping capacity, and move toward the goals they set together.

Remote care with somatic, skills, and narrative supports



Kimberly offers telehealth sessions that blend cognitive behavioral techniques, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness training, and narrative or somatic interventions. Cognitive strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop more adaptable responses. DBT-derived tools can help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Somatic and polyvagal-informed practices are introduced to help people notice bodily states and learn grounding or regulation techniques.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to individual needs. For someone seeking structured skills, sessions can focus on concrete practice and homework. For those wanting to reframe life stories or process trauma, narrative and experiential methods are available. Kimberly also incorporates creative and embodied exercises when they fit a person’s goals.

Telehealth options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible ways to connect and continue work between synchronous appointments.
