    Our Approach

    How Is Our Approach to Therapy Different?

    What sets St. Petersburg Holistic Psychology Clinic apart is our commitment to treating the whole person — not just the diagnosis. While many therapy practices in the Tampa Bay area rely on a single treatment model, our St. Petersburg therapists are trained in multiple evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic experiencing, and mindfulness-based approaches.

    We don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. During your first session at our St. Petersburg office, we take the time to understand your full history, current challenges, and personal goals. From there, we build a customized treatment plan that integrates the techniques most likely to help you — whether that's structured CBT for anxiety, EMDR for trauma processing, or holistic strategies for overall wellness.

    Our holistic philosophy means we also consider how physical health, relationships, lifestyle, and spiritual well-being affect your mental health. This integrative approach leads to deeper, more lasting healing than symptom management alone.

    Who We Help

    Who Can Benefit from Therapy?

    Our St. Petersburg therapists work with a diverse range of clients across the Tampa Bay area, including:

    Adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges
    Teens and young adults struggling with identity, academic pressure, social anxiety, or family conflict
    Couples seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, or work through conflict
    Individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, or complex childhood experiences
    People seeking psychological testing for ADHD, learning differences, or diagnostic clarity
    First responders, healthcare workers, and professionals experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue

    Whether you live in downtown St. Petersburg, South Pasadena, Gulfport, Treasure Island, Kenneth City, or anywhere in Pinellas County, we're here to help. We also offer online therapy throughout the state of Florida for those who prefer telehealth sessions.

    Dr. Kimberly Carnall, PsyD - Licensed Psychologist in St. Petersburg, FL

    Licensed Psychologist & Owner

    Dr. Kimberly Carnall, PsyD

    After earning my doctorate in clinical psychology, I began my career practicing traditional psychotherapy — but something felt incomplete. While exploring thoughts and emotions created progress, I sensed that true healing required more than insight alone.

    Over time, I began weaving mind, body, and spirit practices into my sessions at our St. Petersburg clinic. What followed was profound. My clients weren't just understanding themselves better — they were transforming.

    Conscious counseling grew from this realization. It's our approach to therapy in St. Petersburg — an integrative process that combines psychological tools with body-based awareness and mindfulness, honoring the whole human. Clients throughout Tampa Bay, Pinellas County, and all of Florida access this approach both in-person and via telehealth.

    The PsyD Difference

    Why Doctorate-Level Psychology Matters

    Doctorate-Level Training

    A PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) represents 5–7 years of graduate training in clinical psychology, including supervised clinical hours and a doctoral dissertation. Most therapists hold master's degrees — Dr. Carnall's doctorate means deeper diagnostic expertise.

    Psychological Testing Expertise

    Only licensed psychologists can administer and interpret psychological assessments for ADHD, learning disabilities, and complex diagnoses. Our clinic offers this in-house.

    Complex Case Experience

    Doctorate-trained psychologists are equipped to treat complex conditions like dissociative identity disorder, complex trauma, and co-occurring diagnoses that require advanced clinical judgment.

    Dr. Kimberly Carnall is one of the few PsyD-led holistic psychology practices in the Tampa Bay area actively accepting new patients.

    Insurance & Pricing

    Do You Accept Insurance?

    We understand that cost is one of the biggest concerns when starting therapy. At St. Petersburg Holistic Psychology Clinic, we work to make mental health care accessible. Contact our office at (813) 641-4463 to verify your specific insurance coverage and benefits.

    We can also provide superbills for clients with out-of-network benefits, which may allow you to receive partial reimbursement from your insurance provider. Ask us about sliding scale options if cost is a barrier to getting the care you need.

    How Much Does Therapy Cost?

    Therapy session rates in St. Petersburg typically range from $100–$250 per session depending on the provider and type of service. Psychological assessments may have different pricing structures. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss fees, insurance options, and payment plans so there are no surprises.

    We believe financial concerns should never prevent someone from getting the mental health support they need. Call us at (813) 641-4463 to discuss your options.

    Getting Started

    What Should I Expect at My First Therapy Session?

    Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but we make the process as comfortable as possible at our St. Petersburg clinic. Here's what to expect:

    Before your session, you'll complete a brief intake form covering your history and current concerns. Your first session (typically 50–60 minutes) is focused on getting to know you — your therapist will ask about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and your background. There's no pressure to share anything you're not ready to discuss.

    Together, you and your therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You'll leave your first session with a clear understanding of the therapeutic approach we recommend and what the next steps look like.

    Most clients tell us they feel a sense of relief just from taking that first step. You don't need to have everything figured out — that's what we're here for.

    How Long Does Therapy Take to Work?

    Every person's therapy journey is different. Many clients at our St. Petersburg clinic begin noticing positive changes within 4–8 sessions, though some issues may benefit from longer-term treatment. Specific phobias and acute anxiety often respond quickly to targeted approaches like CBT or EMDR. Complex trauma, long-standing depression, or relationship patterns may require more time to fully address.

    Your therapist will regularly check in on your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Our goal is always to help you build lasting skills — not to keep you in therapy indefinitely.
