Therapy for grief, motherhood, and emotions that don’t fit neatly into one box.
I’m Kim Garrett, MS, LPC, PMH-C.
I offer warm, direct, and active therapy in
Fort Worth, TX
and virtually across Texas and Oklahoma.
As my clients know, I love a good metaphor.
I often think of therapy this way:
We are all holding a mirror about an inch from our faces. You can see yourself, but not clearly.
My job as a therapist is to hold that mirror farther away — and at different angles — so you can see yourself, your patterns, and what is happening for you more clearly.
You don’t have to know exactly what is “wrong” to know something feels off or needs to change.
I am an active therapist. I listen closely. And I will also tell you what I notice, help you connect the dots, challenge your thinking, and get down to the nitty-gritty details when that is what you need.

Therapy for Postpartum, Grief, and Parenting Support —
Fort Worth & Online Across Texas and Oklahoma
I know the search for a therapist is tough, and you’re sorting through a lot of information. Here’s a quick view of my practice.
We might be a good fit if you…
are up for virtual therapy and live in Texas or Oklahoma
want to meet in person in Fort Worth
are looking for support through grief, postpartum, or another tough season
are able to invest in weekly or bi-weekly therapy
can attend sessions during daytime weekday hours (evening and weekend spots are very limited)
want an active, human therapist who offers direct feedback with humor and without judgment
50 min sessions are $175; HSA/FSA & superbills available, and sliding scale when needed
Therapy with me
My sessions are collaborative, conversational, and active. I don’t believe that therapists must show up as blank-slate robots who only listen and ask you how you feel, and I don’t believe every client needs the same version of their therapist either.
One of my biggest strengths is being responsive to you — adjusting my approach based on who you are, what we are tackling, and how you show up that day.
Direct
I will point out what I notice, connect patterns across time, and occasionally say things that make you stop and think,
“Well, I did not love that… so you might be onto something.”
Collaborative
I’m not big on “homework,” but we may try experiments between sessions: something to notice, practice, or approach differently. You can come back and tell me it worked, did absolutely nothing, made things worse, or landed somewhere in between. That’s useful information too.
Human
I leave room for humor, the occasional tangent, messy feelings, and changing your mind. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say. I listen when you tell me something does not fit, does not feel helpful, or does not feel true to your experience.
I take our work seriously.
I just don’t think therapy has to feel serious every minute.
what we might work on
-
grief therapy
It sucks to be a member of a club you never asked to be in. You're grieving, and there's no "right" way to do that.
When those heavy grief emotions don’t have an outlet, they come out in ways that are hard to manage. Irritability, exhaustion, numbness, sudden waves of emotion. It all feels overwhelming, but you don’t have to do this alone. -
postpartum & maternal mental health therapy
Nothing makes you question your identity, sanity, worth, or relationships like becoming a parent. You can love your tiny human more than anything in the world and still feel isolated, overwhelmed, lost.
Motherhood is so much more than decorating nurseries and sleep training decisions. Trying to learn how to “mom” while also not losing the rest of you is hard. We can sort through this together - the mundane, the existential, and everything in-between.
-
expecting twins
Two babies at once is a whole different world. You're not imagining things - the twin mom gig can feel impossible.
You deserve support that understands the reality of multiples and can help you thrive, not just reassurance that you will "get through it." As a mom of twins, I deeply get it.
Let’s tackle this challenge of twin motherhood together. The ups and downs of twin pregnancy, the unknowns of childbirth, and the literal juggling act of two newborn babies at the same time. I’m here for you.

about the therapist
Kim Garrett, MS, LPC, PMH-C
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Oklahoma, I have a passion for working with grief and loss and more than a decade of experience in that field. I also love helping clients navigate the emotional complexity and identity shifts of parenthood and starting a family.
My clients appreciate that I bring my personality into session, give direct feedback, and maintain a warm and positive energy, even when we are talking about difficult things.
I care deeply about building a strong enough relationship that you can bring the hard stuff into the room without censoring yourself. I am not afraid to sit in the mess with you while we figure things out together.

most people wonder about these things
before starting
-
I do not take insurance, and my services are considered out-of-network. Many of my clients use HSA/FSA benefits, and some get partial reimbursement from their insurance when they submit the monthly superbill I provide.
-
Most clients schedule sessions weekly or bi-weekly so that support is consistent and progress remains steady .
That said, therapy with me is collaborative — if you think a different frequency would work better for you, we’ll work together to find the balance.
-
Babies are always welcome in session — whether you need to feed, rock, or check on baby, you do what you gotta do. Therapy can sometimes be easier when you have childcare, but I know that isn’t always possible postpartum.
For older kids, I recommend arranging childcare so that you can fully focus on yourself and get the most out of our time together.
-
The standard session fee is $175 per 50–55 minute session. Limited sliding-scale spots are available when needed.
-
I am deeply relational, active, and integrative. I pay attention to the intersection of your emotions, relationships, beliefs about yourself, and the way you make meaning of your own story. I offer my observations of these patterns collaboratively, not as the final word on your experience.
Depending on what you need, our work may involve deeper exploration, understanding the purpose behind a coping pattern, challenging a thought that is keeping you stuck, holding two truths at the same time, or figuring out practical next steps.
My work is informed by attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other approaches. I do not expect every client to fit a certain mold or one treatment model. My interventions are trauma-informed and responsive to your needs and goals.

how to get started
If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably wondering how to get started.
Your first appointment is a 75-minute intake so that we have enough time to understand what brought you in without cramming your whole life story into an hour.
we meet
No need to prepare anything for this appointment or know where to start. We will start where you are comfortable and cover what feels most relevant to you.
what’s next
We will discuss what frequency and direction of therapy will work best.
the vibe check
Sometimes you just need a quick vibe check to see if we are the right fit.
Finding the right therapist is like finding a comfy pair of shoes. You might need to try on a few pairs and even walk around the block before you find the right fit.
