Couples & Individual Therapy in Asheville, NC
Based in Asheville, offering therapy across North Carolina (in person & online)
Relationship Counseling for Couples and Individuals
I specialize in helping partners and individuals untangle old patterns through attachment-based, neurodivergent-affirming care — so relationships and daily life feel more connected and manageable.
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite name? I work with couples — whether ADHD is part of the picture or not — to strengthen communication, repair ruptures, and reconnect emotionally. I also support individuals navigating ADHD, late-diagnosed neurodivergence, and the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much for too long.
Couples Counseling in Asheville — ADHD & Beyond
If you and your partner feel stuck in the same arguments or like you’re speaking different languages, you’re not alone. My approach combines attachment-based therapy with practical tools for navigating challenges such as emotional reactivity, shutdowns, and communication breakdowns.
I specialize in Asheville couples counseling for mixed-neurotype partners (for example, ADHD + non-ADHD, or ND/ND partnerships) as well as for neurotypical couples who want to feel closer, communicate more effectively, and rebuild trust. Whether you think of it as relationship counseling in Asheville, marriage counseling, or couples therapy, the goal is the same: helping you break old cycles and create a connection where both partners feel heard, respected, and understood.
Individual Therapy for Adults
Life can feel overwhelming, even when you look like you have it all together from the outside. I work with adults who are navigating stress, relationship changes, burnout, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to break them.
Whether you’re looking for support with emotional regulation, clarity in decision-making, or just a safe space to sort through what’s going on, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded in your daily life.
So you can move through life with more clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
Some relationships leave a deeper imprint than others. Maybe you grew up with a parent who was critical or unpredictable, or you’ve had partners who left you doubting your worth, memories, or instincts. You might notice that even now, you feel responsible for other people’s emotions, struggle to trust yourself, or find it hard to believe that safety in connection is possible.
Whether you describe it as narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, or simply a pattern of relationships that felt one-sided or unsafe, therapy can help you begin to heal. Together, we’ll work on understanding how those experiences shaped you — not to stay in the story, but to help you reconnect with your own voice, boundaries, and capacity for trust.
Healing from Relational Trauma
ADHD & Neurodivergent Relationships
Whether ADHD or autism is part of the picture, or you’re exploring late-diagnosed neurodivergence, therapy can help you understand patterns, strengthen communication, and reduce the friction that keeps you feeling disconnected.
I offer therapy that affirms your neurotype, respects your lived experience, and blends emotional depth with practical strategies you can use right away — in relationships and in your daily life.
So you can build understanding, reduce friction, and feel more at ease in your daily interactions.
Support for ADHD Parents & Co-Parents
Parenting is challenging under the best of circumstances — and even more so with ADHD or when navigating different neurotypes in the family. I work with parents to:
Strengthen co-parenting communication
Reduce stress and conflict at home
Build emotional regulation skills (yours and your child’s)
Create family systems that support everyone’s needs
So your family life feels less chaotic and more connected — even with different needs under one roof.
Relationship Assessments
If you’re not ready to commit to ongoing therapy — or you want a clear starting point — a structured assessment can give you insight into your relationship’s strengths, challenges, and next steps.
Using the Gottman Method and other tools, I’ll help you see where you’re in sync, where you’re missing each other, and what will make the biggest difference. Assessments are available as a standalone service or as part of a therapy package.
So you can see exactly where your relationship is thriving and where it needs the most attention.
Meet Kim Vervain
I’m a therapist who blends attachment theory, neurodivergent-affirming practice, and practical tools you can actually use in everyday life.
I work with adults and couples — both neurodivergent and neurotypical — who want more than just coping strategies. Together, we dig into the patterns, relationship dynamics, and nervous-system responses that keep you stuck, and we build new ways forward that feel sustainable.
You won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach here. I listen deeply, meet you where you are, and help you connect the dots between your past experiences and your present challenges. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s creating relationships, habits, and self-understanding that actually feel good to live in.
Therapy with me is collaborative and real.
This work isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about your attachment patterns, nervous-system responses, self-understanding, and the kind of life you want to build.
Ready to move forward with clarity and compassion?
I’m here to support you in your journey.
