Kimberly Tawney

Kimberly Tawney, MD, LCSW-C, brings a compassionate, strengths-focused approach to supporting people working through mood disorders, grief, anxiety, and relationship or family stress. She guides individuals who are struggling with depression, bipolar symptoms, and feelings of isolation toward clearer understanding and practical coping skills, while also addressing challenges related to trauma, anger, and acute mental health concerns.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and evidence-based strategies, helping clients explore life purpose, improve communication, and rebuild meaningful connections. Kimberly integrates attention to body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and issues around fatherhood and identity into therapy when relevant, meeting each person where they are and honoring their individual journey.

Prior to and alongside her clinical work, she has a long history of supporting people with complex emotional needs - a background that informs her nuanced, empathetic style. She has three years of experience as a licensed therapist in Maryland and has also worked with those facing trauma and severe mental health challenges for over 20 years, 17 of which came before becoming a therapist.

Kimberly uses practical interventions and collaborative listening to help clients develop resilience, stronger self-esteem, and healthier relationships. She is trained in approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. MD stands for medical doctor and LCSW-C indicates a licensed clinical social worker.
