Practice Policies
Kimberly Clipper Counseling & Therapeutic Services operates as an out-of-network, self-pay practice.
Payment is required at the time of each session and may be made by cash, check, or credit card.
Should you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments missed without notice, or cancelled late for reasons other than emergencies, illness, or unsafe travel conditions, will incur the full session fee. Sessions are virtual (video).
Out of respect for every client’s time, sessions begin and end promptly. Please plan to arrive on time. Late arrivals may result in a shortened session while the full fee still applies.
Professional ethics do not allow therapists to engage with clients on personal social media accounts; therefore, we cannot accept friend requests or social interactions on personal profiles. You are welcome to connect with our business pages, but please remember that we cannot confirm or deny a therapeutic relationship in those public settings.
If you are ready to explore how therapy can support your healing and growth, we invite you to reach out for a free 10-minute phone consultation. We look forward to speaking with you.

Our Process
Kimberly will establish a warm, hopeful, and supportive environment that is free from judgment, allowing you to express yourself freely. Our sessions will be held in a private and confidential setting, with the primary focus on establishing a connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The foundation of any therapeutic relationship is built upon trust, which we will collaboratively cultivate. Christian counseling principals are available to clients based solely on your receptiveness and comfort level. Sessions are scheduled for 55 minutes. Payment is due at the time services are rendered, unless prior arrangements are made.
Kimberly understands that it is normal to feel nervous or uncomfortable prior to the first session. However, Kimberly is confident that after the first session, these feelings will dissipate, allowing the healing journey to commence. It is crucial to be open and honest during the first session to maximize the experience.
Begin the session by ensuring your comfort. Prior to the session, allocate time to feel grounded and prepared. Dress comfortably and in a manner that makes you feel safe and respected. Obtain a good night’s sleep and consume a nutritious meal before our time together.
Check yourself into the virtual waiting room and await Kimberly’s commencement of the video session. It is recommended that you have water or a beverage to sip during session times. Consider bringing a notebook or journal to record any ideas, thoughts, or insights.
Create a confidential setting free from interruptions. Turn off your phone’s Do Not Disturb feature during our time together, as incoming phone calls frequently disrupt sessions within the Simple Practice application. Due to safety concerns, sessions cannot be conducted while operating a vehicle.
Kimberly will email you the intake paperwork to complete in its entirety prior to your first session.
Upon the completion of the necessary documentation, your initial session will be scheduled as an assessment. During the assessment, Kimberly will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history and symptoms. Subsequently, Kimberly will collaborate with you to establish the appropriate frequency of sessions. Kimberly and the client will then engage in a collaborative process to develop treatment plans and objectives that will facilitate your healing journey.
