Kimberly Queen Moldt, MA, LMHC, LMFT, CAP
My name is Kimberly Queen Moldt. I am dually licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am a Certified Addiction Professional in Florida and have a background in government and health care administration, with a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Post Master’s Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I am currently an Adjunct Faculty at St. Petersburg College, teaching classes in the Human Services department since January 2006, and also Sociology. In addition, I have had my own small private practice and consulting business in Largo. I am Florida licensing board approved as a Qualified Supervisor for Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Social Workers.
Since moving to Florida, I served as Administrator of Clinical Services at Operation PAR, Inc. I worked at the Adult Residential Campus in Largo, a therapeutic community for people recovering from alcohol/drug addiction. I supervised Program Directors and their staff which includes nurse administrator and nurses, counselors and interns, behavioral health technicians, case managers, and administrative support staff.
In West Virginia, I worked in a non-profit community mental health agency and for government in public health. I retired as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor. I spent eight years at Kanawha Pastoral Counseling Center where I started as an intern, served as the business manager, primary fundraiser/event planner as I transitioned from part-time to full-time Staff Therapist, and supervised other counselors in the absence of the Executive Director.
As a consultant, I have provided training to physicians, nurses and social workers on using Motivational Interviewing for HIV Prevention Counseling and Testing. My clients include Pennsylvania Mid-Atlantic AIDS Education and Training Center, and the States of West Virginia and Tennessee Bureaus of Public Health. Prior to my work as a consultant, I worked for the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health and was trained as a trainer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. I supervised the quality of HIV counseling in public health departments, contractors in community-based organizations statewide and a professional staff of public health educators.
On a personal note, I am humbled by the mystery of life and the experiences given to me on my signature path. I am grateful for the opportunities for continued learning and growth in our profession and look forward to sharing my passion for the field with new professionals.
