Ms. Kimberly Dobson works as a counseling specialist in Smyrna, GA.

"She is a horrible therapist that has caused a ton of destruction and pain to my family. Her recommendations led my family member to commit suicide. She crosses professional boundaries and gives out bogus diagnoses to her clients to keep them meeting with her multiple times a week so she can earn more money. She also incorrectly diagnoses her clients acquaintances without even talking to them. Do not seek her for therapy under any circumstances."

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
