About

In the complex tapestry of human experience, Kim Yamas, LCSW-C, stands as a skilled guide, helping individuals navigate the intricate threads of their lives. With a collaborative and strengths-based approach, Kim specializes in assisting clients who grapple with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, life transitions, and a lack of meaning in their lives.

Kim's therapeutic style is a unique blend of practical coping skills and deeper inner work, including dreamwork for those interested in exploring the subconscious realm. Her goal is to help clients move beyond their symptoms, bringing more meaning and possibility into their lives. She believes in tailoring her approach to what resonates with each individual, creating a personalized path to healing and growth.

With over two decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Kim's expertise is both broad and deep. Her journey began in 1999 at a community mental health center, and since 2004, she has honed her skills in private practice. While her initial training was psychodynamic, Kim's clinical viewpoint is largely informed by Jungian theory, which she finds to be a rich, deep model for understanding human experiences. She also values and incorporates helpful techniques from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based theories, creating an integrative approach that addresses both the practical and profound aspects of her clients' lives.

As a founder and Chief of Operations at Stone Soup Counseling, Kim brings not only her clinical expertise but also her leadership skills to her practice. She is a Maryland Board Approved Supervisor for Clinical Social Work, reflecting her commitment to nurturing the next generation of therapists. While Kim is not currently accepting new patients, her influence extends through her supervisory role and the culture she has helped establish at Stone Soup Counseling.

Kim's approach to therapy is a testament to her belief in the power of understanding oneself, the reasons behind one's experiences, and the potential for change. She aims to create a therapeutic environment where clients can explore their inner worlds, gain insights into their patterns, and develop strategies for a deeper, more satisfying life. Through her work, Kim embodies the idea that therapy can be a transformative journey, helping individuals find their way through difficult situations and towards a more meaningful existence.
