Kimberly Madison, MS, LPC
I am the founder of Emeralds of Hope Counseling, LLC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling obtained from Mercer University. I support adults and teens navigating high-functioning anxiety, attachment wounds, and unresolved trauma.
As a Navy Veteran, wife and mom to three children, I am not exempt from life experiences and therefore approach working with clients from a place of compassion. I love spending time with my family and friends and believe in putting God first.

*Accepting new clients
Relationships, life transitions, and the demands of everyday life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you find yourself putting everyone else’s needs before your own, struggling to communicate in your relationships, or repeating patterns you know are no longer serving you. Perhaps you are navigating anxiety, stress, changes in your identity, or the emotional and physical challenges that can come with perimenopause and menopause. Whatever you are facing, you deserve a space where your experiences are understood and your needs matter, too.
​
I work with women, couples, adolescents, and families who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier patterns. I support women navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.
Whether you are adjusting to a new season of life, struggling to feel like yourself, or trying to balance your own needs with the expectations of others, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
​
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences. Together, we will explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your ability to communicate your needs, and develop practical tools to help you navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, establish healthier boundaries, improve your relationships, and feel more connected to yourself and the life you want to create.
​
Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or overwhelming, and reaching out is often the hardest part. You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, support through a life transition, or simply a space where you can show up as yourself without judgment, I welcome you to begin your journey at your own pace. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Embarking on therapy is no easy feat, it can feel intimidating, overwhelming, and even a little scary. Choosing to take the next step toward improving your mental and emotional well-being can feel like an added task or even burdensome. But it is a courageous and meaningful decision.
My goal is to make this transition as smooth and supportive as possible while serving as a compassionate guide on your journey toward healing and wellness. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, major life transitions, family dynamics, and women's and maternal mental health concerns.
