Kimberley Gentile, Psy.D.

Meet Kimberley, PsyD, LPC 

Welcome

Hi, I’m Kimberley, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with a Doctorate in Psychology. I work with adults and couples navigating some of life’s most complex and sensitive challenges. Whether you are recovering from betrayal, struggling with addiction, facing the impact of trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner, I provide a therapeutic space grounded in safety, authenticity, and compassion.

My goal is to help you better understand your experiences, strengthen your relationships, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Together, we will explore the patterns, pain, and possibilities that shape your life and create meaningful change at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.

What I Offer

I provide therapy for adults and couples who are committed to personal growth and ready to engage in the healing process. My approach is relational and collaborative—balancing deep empathy with honest guidance and, when appropriate, a bit of humor to help us move through the difficult moments.

I support clients who are experiencing:

• Addiction, alcohol use, drug abuse, and substance use concerns
• Anxiety, depression, anger management, and emotional distress
• Trauma, domestic abuse, and domestic violence recovery
• Relationship challenges including infidelity, divorce, and communication struggles
• Codependency and narcissistic relationship dynamics (NPD)
• Eating disorders, obesity, weight loss struggles, and body image concerns
• Dual diagnosis and mood-related challenges
• Marital and premarital concerns, intimacy challenges, and sex therapy needs

I also provide a sex-positive and kink-allied therapeutic environment where individuals and couples can openly explore intimacy, sexuality, and relationship dynamics without judgment.

Before beginning therapy, I personally connect with each client to answer questions and ensure you feel comfortable and supported from the very first step.
