My name is Jimmy Ausbrooks and I earned my Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College with honors. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), I provide individuals, couples, and family counseling. I work with clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, complex diagnosis, and dual diagnosis (mental health and substance abuse), stress management, conflict resolution, self-image, spirituality, sexual identity, and grief. I am truly an affirming counselor, patient and caring to the individual needs of my clients. I meet my clients where they are, I am not judgmental, and I recognize individuals as individuals.
I have vital experience in navigating issues related to mental health, substance abuse, gender identity, career, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping others in all stages of their life as they face conflict within themselves and with others. I am a proud native of Kentucky and reside in Louisville, KY and was born and raised in South-Central Kentucky. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Government from Western Kentucky University.
I enjoy many hobbies, self-care, and interests, i.e., any adventurous activities, like travel, politics, and cooking. I am a foodie and avid Food Network watcher. I have traveled both domestically and internationally to destinations like: Italy, England, Germany, France, Netherlands, Mexico, and Canada internationally, and have travels to all but six of the continental United States. I am a former candidate for the United States Congress (US Senate and US House of Representatives). I make a mean chicken alfredo, beans and cornbread, and all time southern staple banana pudding, and all from scratch.
I currently serve on the board of the Kentucky Counseling Association and have done so since 2017 and I am an active member of the American Counseling Association.
I volunteer with various at-risk organizations for youth and young adults. Have worked with organizations addressing HIV prevention, domestic violence, and crisis stabilization, as well as educational engagements and clinical care.
My clinical experience is coupled with continued education, and I am a certified trauma professional (CTP). I work with children ages 8-17, and adults aged 18-80. I work with single parent families and siblings, provide relationship counseling pre and post marriage. I serve those in need, and grateful for every opportunity to make a connection and change lives.
