Redefining Balance & Belief: Kim Rippy on Trauma Care, Next-Gen Therapists, and Fighting Imposter Syndrome
Kim Rippy is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor, and the Owner of Keystone Therapy Group in Burke, Virginia. Specializing in complex trauma and anxiety as a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Kim is best known for her deep care for clients and her visionary commitment to nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals.
Her work goes beyond therapy: Kim is actively developing a new, holistic model for clinical supervision programs, equipping resident therapists to thrive in both skill and heart.
But behind her impressive credentials and the thriving practice she built over the past six years, Kim—like so many high-achieving women—wrestles with imposter syndrome.
As a mother to two young boys and a wife, she’s learning to navigate the invisible maze of modern womanhood: growing a business, raising a family, and finding permission to invest fully and unapologetically in her own dreams.
Kim’s candor about the realities of balancing core identities is powerful: building something meaningful doesn’t erase self-doubt. Instead, her journey reminds us that even the most seasoned caregivers need their own compassion and clarity.
Her dream is bold: empower herself and her team, trust her inner voice, and pioneer a new path for therapist supervision and support.

Redefining supervision can change the profession, empowering the next generation to lead with greater confidence and care.
🌟 “You can champion healing for others and still need support to believe in yourself.”
🌟 “Growth isn’t about never doubting—it’s about showing up, again and again, with courage.”
