I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and the owner and director of Restoration Counseling. I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Malone University.
My work is centered on helping individuals heal from psychological and emotional abuse, especially within relationships involving narcissistic partners or parents. Many of the clients I work with come in feeling confused, drained, and disconnected from themselves. Together, we begin to make sense of what you’ve experienced and gently work toward rebuilding clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
I am the author of Finding Your True North: A Roadmap for Recovery from Narcissistic Parents, a workbook designed to guide individuals in understanding their experiences and creating a path forward. I’m passionate about making this kind of healing accessible, both inside and outside of the therapy room.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I focus on helping you build insight, strengthen self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and move toward a life that feels more steady and aligned. In addition to my clinical work, I share educational content on YouTube to provide practical, supportive guidance for those healing from emotionally abusive relationships.
I offer telehealth sessions for Florida residents and limited in-person appointments.
Navigating the challenges that keep us stuck and off balance can be exhausting and overwhelming. Having support on this journey can make all of the difference! My goal is to provide a comfortable, and safe environment for individuals to identify their struggles and begin to utilize their strengths and positive attributes to overcome them. I believe that when people feel connected, seen and valued they become empowered to move towards wellness and positive change. I consider it a privilege to engage in this process with my clients
Each client has individual needs. I strive to meet their needs utilizing a holistic approach that includes genuine connection, compassion, and evidence based interventions. I aim to create a supportive environment for individuals to be free to explore their challenges, strengths, and goals.
I received my Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My Bachelor of Science Degree is from St. Joseph’s College, in General and Special Education. I am a member of the American Counseling Association.
I would love to connect with you and have the opportunity to see if my approach can fulfill your needs.

Allow me to help you find peace of mind, in a safe therapeutic environment. Life and emotional distress can feel so overwhelming during some points in our lives. Are you experiencing feelings such as sadness, stress, anxiety, disappointment, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, and confusion? As human beings, we are often faced with many challenges, limitations, barriers, and stressors, that can create an unbalance in one’s life. Most importantly many of these obstacles as mentioned, can take away your potential to create the ideal life that you may desire. Also, life’s stressors can decrease your capability to enjoy all beauty and positive gifts you may have in your life in the present moment.
I apply a Solution-Focused Therapy, which aids an individual to recognize their own strengths and outline their own goals to overcome their issues. My main professional experience is with relationships conflicts, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, sexual issues, and negative self-image. Professionally, I have placed focus to specialize in sexual behavioral issues. In addition, I am a Certified Grief Counselor. If you are struggling and feel like you need help, or just need another form of support and guidance, individual counseling may be very beneficial. My professional experience includes individual and group counseling, which includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I would love to further discuss your personal needs and offer you the tools and support through your journey of recovery.
Hi there! My name is Kimberly Harter and I am a counselor at Restoration Counseling. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University where I was also a member of Chi Sigma Iota, which was a great honor for sure. I got my bachelors in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Perhaps more importantly, it is my life experiences that led me to this calling of counseling. My professional memberships include American Counseling Association as well as American Association of Christian Counselors.
It is my belief that if you have gone through traumatic experiences, and are dealing with overwhelming depression or unmanageable anxiety due to this trauma, healing is possible. Many of our life experiences have left us with emotional scars, whether as a child or an adult. I strive to provide a safe, honest and open space to help you bring your heart and soul back to life on your journey of healing. In order to better facilitate this, I have received additional training in play therapy, trauma-informed therapy and grief counseling. I also have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults of all ages. It is my passion to help guide those who have experienced the tragedies of life, past and present, from ashes to beauty. My goal is to help clients pick up the pieces to restore and improve their outlook and mental health. My office is a secure, non-judgmental place where you can safely walk through this process. Experience has taught me about the power of healing through relationships and self-awareness. I work collaboratively with clients to help process their hurts and hang-ups, by working on unhealthy thought processes and behaviors that have hindered progress in their life and relationships. My approach is client-centered, while utilizing multiple therapeutic techniques to include play therapy, CBT and others specific to client needs. I also take a holistic approach, as I believe physical, emotional and spiritual health are integral in healing.
I have three children ranging from elementary to high school, with two dogs that keep us very busy! We enjoy any activities by the water and spending time with family. We have lived in central, east, and now southwest Florida, which has been our home for over 10 years. We love it here!

If you’re reading this page, chances are you may be walking through a hard season in life, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to even begin. Perhaps you want to understand why you feel or act the way you do. Whatever has brought you here, I aim to offer a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment. In the therapy room, you don’t have to hold it all together or have all the answers. It’s a space where you can set down the mental and emotional weight you’ve been carrying and slow things down, so you can start to make sense of what’s been going on at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
I take a holistic approach to therapy, paying attention to both the mind and body, and how our emotional experiences are connected to the way we show up in daily life. I believe healing takes time and effort, but it is very much possible. I draw from Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and take a client-centered approach. My approach is both compassionate and practical, helping you explore emotional and relationship patterns while also giving you practical tools for change
If you’re interested in beginning your journey, I invite you to reach out so we can begin taking the next steps towards creating a life you love.
I offer sessions both virtually and in person, with a reduced self-pay rate available for those not using insurance or in need of a more financially accessible option.
