About Kimberley
She brings ten years of clinical experience, including work as a medical family therapist supporting people coping with chronic illness and caregiving stress. Sessions focus on understanding each person’s story in the context of their relationships and daily life. Dr. Dockery emphasizes compassion, respect, and collaboration in every meeting.
In-session, she helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Conversations may include identifying values, building new coping skills, and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and emotionally-focused work to make changes feel practical and relevant.
Her background includes experience with grief and loss, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges tied to serious physical illness. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, parenting stress, career questions, and identity-based issues for LGBT clients.
Dr. Dockery uses a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens to see how life events, relationships, and beliefs interact. The work is collaborative: clients and therapist pick strategies that match personal goals and values. People looking for steady, empathetic guidance through depression or major life transitions may find this style helpful.
