Find hope & healing,one relationship at a time.
I'm Kim North, a Christian marriage & family therapist in Cumming, GA. Whether you're navigating a season of change, a relationship that's hurting, or simply searching for hope, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
About Kim
A therapist shaped by service, faith & a heart for people.
My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by a wide range of personal and professional experiences, including years serving overseas as a missionary, which deepened my heart for those in full-time ministry.
Before entering mental health, I worked as a registered nurse caring for patients facing chronic illness and end-of-life issues. That background gives me a unique compassion for individuals and families navigating medical and aging-related challenges.
I believe the success of therapy is rooted in the relationship we build together. When trust is established, healing becomes possible.
