Momentum Counseling is a practice started by Kimberley Manuel, LPC-A (License #101659) under the Supervision of Loren Riedel, LPC-S (License #80100). This practice aims to give clients the space to decompress & do the personal work that will ultimately improve their craft. I believe accomplishment & self-care do not need to be opposing concepts, and I hope to give you the tools to ensure you can feel good while performing well, too.

I use a combination of theories and techniques to individualize each client’s experience in counseling. Whether utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Person-Centered/Child-Centered Therapy, or Gestalt Therapy techniques, I believe the client and therapist should work together to create goals and build a trusting relationship. My hope is you will have tools you can use following each session to have a better relationship with your mind & body, no matter what you choose to take on.

Growing up in the world of athletics it became apparent to me that every athlete needs a village. Whether it be a trainer, coach, sponsor, parents, nutritionist, private instructor, physical therapist, etc… the village was always focused on improving the person to achieve their goals. A counselor is no different. Therapy can facilitate the health of the whole person - not just the athlete and their abilities. I believe the body without the mind is a tool, but the body with the mind is a weapon.

We specialize in children, teenagers, & young adults who are managing the stressors & busy-nature of life-on-the-go (athletics, marathons, bodybuilding, extracurriculars, music, dance, special skills, etc.) while also trying to perform professionally or academically.
