Kimberly Loney

Change is at the heart of Kimberly Loney's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Kimberly firmly believes in the power of personal growth and transformation. Since opening her practice in 2013, she has dedicated herself to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful change.

Kimberly's journey to becoming a therapist is a testament to her belief in personal transformation. Born and raised in Fort Wayne, she initially pursued a career in the legal field after graduating from Purdue University in 1999. However, after nearly a decade in the workforce, Kimberly realized her true calling lay in counseling. This led her to return to graduate school, earning a Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Francis in 2012.

With a comprehensive educational background that includes courses in counseling techniques, diagnosis, ethics, human growth and development, play therapy, human sexuality, substance abuse counseling, career counseling, and marriage and family counseling, Kimberly brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. Her extensive clinical experience during her graduate program further honed her skills, preparing her to address a wide range of client needs.

Kimberly's areas of expertise encompass a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. She works with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, life stress, work conflicts, and relationship issues. Her approach is client-centered, focusing on setting counseling goals, monitoring progress, and achieving change. Whether clients are struggling with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, facing challenges in work or home life, or dealing with significant life events, Kimberly strives to make the counseling process as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

Located in a professional office park on the southwest side of Fort Wayne, Kimberly's therapy room is designed to feel like a living room, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for her clients. She offers flexible scheduling, including appointments during business hours, evenings, and over the lunch hour, to accommodate her clients' diverse needs.

For those new to therapy or feeling apprehensive about starting, Kimberly provides a clear picture of what to expect. The initial session, and sometimes the first few sessions, focus on getting to know each other and beginning the therapeutic process. Kimberly listens attentively, asks questions, and gathers information to fully understand her clients' counseling needs. This process also allows clients to determine if Kimberly is the right counselor for them.

As therapy progresses, Kimberly works collaboratively with her clients to monitor their progress. She acknowledges that while counseling can sometimes be challenging, it holds the potential for remarkable rewards, often resulting in the resolution of specific problems, healthier relationships, and an overall increase in well-being. Throughout the therapeutic journey, Kimberly ensures that she listens carefully, treats her clients with respect, and does her utmost to help them reach their counseling goals.

Kimberly Loney's practice stands as a testament to her belief that we are all capable of change and growth. Whether it's learning to be kinder to ourselves, finding more compassion for others, or achieving long-held personal goals, Kimberly is committed to facilitating positive change and improving the lives of her clients through the power of counseling.
