About me
First and foremost, I am a child of God who is saved by the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. This identity influences every aspect of who I am as an individual and as a therapist. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. During my Christian education at Liberty University, I focused on learning how to help people understand how the Gospel of Jesus Christ applies to them in a broken and chaotic world. Later in my career, I have used this same Christian Worldview to help individuals adjust to various life transitions and traumas. These transitions may be due to retirement, parenthood, or moving into adulthood. The transitions may be by choice, such as marriage, or by force, such as a work-related injury. No matter what the cause of the life transitions, I have dedicated my career to helping people learn how to identify the Spiritual gifts and talents they already possess while also learning the healthy coping skills necessary to fulfill their life purpose.
I also hold a BSW in Social Work from the University of Wyoming. Prior to becoming a counselor, I spent 16 years as a Social Worker focusing on helping individuals with chronic mental illness and life-altering disabilities learn to cope with life. My experience from this season of my career has helped enable me to look beyond the present circumstances and help individuals gain hope for a future created through circumstances, but not defined by those circumstances.
For many years, I enjoyed the opportunity of serving in full-time ministry as a counselor while sharing the Gospel with the homeless. During this season, I was able to provide free counseling to individuals who frequently live life being overlooked. This experience has truly allowed me to understand what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ.
I believe that therapy is a journey for which all people can benefit in order to take charge of their lives and make intentional choices to find joy in the midst of a chaotic world. My role within this journey is to come alongside my client and help them grow during this season of change. I look forward to the opportunities for growth and change which is available as a partner with my clients.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kimberly Fenner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Faithful Counseling might be different.
I love that she doesn't just see me as a client but that I am more than what is going on with me in this season of my life. She is very thoughtful towards her clients and knowledgeable in her career. She is wonderful to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.
