Kay Ibarra , LPC

Kay Ibarra is a licensed counselor who has been providing therapeutic services since 1992. She was first licensed in California, held a license in Louisiana for several years, and has served as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia since 2002. She is also a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, which means she is qualified to supervise and mentor other counselors as they develop their professional skills.

Her clinical background includes work in Community Behavioral Health as well as a long-standing private practice. When the COVID pandemic required a shift to virtual work, she adopted online sessions and found that clients appreciated the convenience of meeting from home and the ability to schedule appointments at times that fit their lives. Over the years clients have brought a wide range of concerns to her sessions, including abuse and trauma, depression, stress and anxiety, co-occurring issues, family conflicts, life transitions, low self-esteem and confidence, and communication problems.

She strives to create a safe, validating, and nonjudgmental space where people can share intimate concerns and work toward growth. Known for a caring approach, she uses a variety of therapeutic methods - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, trauma-informed work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered strategies, and existential perspectives - to tailor treatment to each person. She believes everyone deserves a fulfilling life and welcomes the opportunity to support clients on their journey toward greater peace and well-being.
