Kimberly Cook-Lee, LCSW
Helping adults heal from trauma, grief, and life’s most difficult experiences through compassionate, holistic therapy. Serving clients in Louisville and across Kentucky via telehealth.
Find Your Way Back to Peace, Safety, and Connection
Trauma changes the way we experience the world; emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating grief, PTSD, chronic stress, or the lasting effects of painful experiences, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and begin healing in a way that feels safe and supported.
Kimberly works with adults facing complex trauma, sexual trauma, grief, PTSD, and major life transitions. Her approach is holistic and body-aware, helping clients understand the connection between the mind, nervous system, body, and spirit. Through warmth, acceptance, and evidence-based care, she creates space for healing that honors your full story.
Therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a checklist.
My Background
Kimberly (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience in the medical field, including behavioral health and hospice care. She earned her BSW from Eastern Kentucky University and her MSSW from the University of Louisville. Originally from Frankfort, Kentucky, Kimberly is certified in grief counseling and trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), with specialized experience supporting individuals navigating complex trauma, PTSD, sexual trauma, chronic illness, and end-of-life care.
Approach & Philosophy
Kimberly believes healing happens when people feel emotionally safe, fully accepted, and genuinely supported. Her therapeutic approach is holistic and trauma-informed, emphasizing the connection between the body, mind, and spirit. She integrates body-based interventions to support nervous system regulation and emotional healing, while also incorporating creative expression, faith-based counseling, and animal-assisted learning when aligned with a client’s needs and goals. Her goal is to create an atmosphere of comfort, safety, and unconditional acceptance where clients feel empowered to heal at their own pace.
Fun Facts
Outside of therapy, Kimberly enjoys music, photography, reading, travel, and spending time outdoors. Concerts are her favorite form of entertainment, the beach is her happy place, and she proudly considers herself an adventure seeker. Kimberly describes herself as both a dreamer and an optimist who believes anything is possible — a perspective that naturally carries into the hope and encouragement she brings to her therapy work.
