Kimberly Byrd, Ed.D, LMSW

Ugh, my brain will not shut off. I’m overthinking, feeling anxious, and replaying everything I’ve ever said. I feel burned out by school, work, and life, while everyone else seems to be handling things just fine. Every time I feel like I finally have things together, another life transition comes along. From the outside, it may look like I’m doing well—but internally, I’m struggling with relationships, grief, loneliness, anxiety, and figuring out where I fit in this world. If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck.

Together, we work to better understand these patterns, reduce emotional reactivity, and ease the mental load that keeps you up at night. I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can fully be yourself. My approach is individualized and solution-focused, helping clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

My background includes hospice/medical social work, higher education, executive leadership and private practice, giving me a well-rounded perspective on life’s challenges and transitions. I am licensed in Michigan and Florida and provide telehealth services for clients in both states, making it easier to access support wherever you are.
