Kimberly Parker ABD

Kimberly Parker, LPC-S, LCDC, is a counselor educator, researcher, clinician, entrepreneur, and speaker whose work centers decolonial care, cultural responsiveness, cultural humility, trauma, and social justice. Her research explores decolonized approaches to mental healthcare and how culture, identity, power, systemic oppression, and lived experience shape healing and clinical practice. Her developing research agenda will build upon this work by examining decolonial counselor preparation, practitioner development, supervision, allyship and accountability, and organizational change.

Parker is the founder of Revive to Thrive Wellness Center, where she provides psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and professional training, and The Healthcare GreenBook™️, an initiative advancing culturally affirming mental healthcare through assessment, training, organizational accountability, and a directory connecting clients with vetted providers and organizations.

An experienced speaker and NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider, Parker facilitates trainings on cultural humility, culturally responsive counseling, critical consciousness, trauma, and reimagining traditional clinical approaches for historically marginalized communities. She is passionate about helping clinicians move beyond cultural awareness by translating culturally responsive and decolonial principles into meaningful changes in how they conceptualize, connect with, and care for clients.
