I recently started mental health treatment through Open Mind Health via the VA’s community care program. Like many veterans, I’ve carried invisible wounds while trying to hold it all together, and the thought of opening up in a one-on-one setting was daunting. After falling through the cracks in the VA system before, I wasn’t expecting much when I gave it another try.

But from my very first session with Kimberly and now into my second, I’ve felt something shift. Weekly sessions bring the consistency and accountability I never knew I needed. Kimberly creates a space where difficult questions are asked with compassion, not pressure. She listens, stays fully present, and allows the conversation to unfold naturally without taking over.

For the first time in a long while, I feel hopeful, like something is finally breaking through. If you're a veteran considering therapy, I highly recommend requesting a referral to Open Mind Health and asking for Kimberly if you can. The sessions are virtual, which makes access even easier.

Thank you, Kimberly. You have a true gift for this work. It’s clear you're exactly where you're meant to be.
