I’ve been happily working in private practice for over 5 years, and I truly believe that therapy should be a compassionate and relatable journey for everyone. I love incorporating humor, a bit of self-deprecation, and a relaxed atmosphere to make my patients feel at ease as we navigate the therapeutic process together. I focus on supporting adults, adolescents, couples, and families in their one-of-a-kind journeys. As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I am deeply passionate about supporting families as they navigate their unique paths and connect with valuable resources and services. I understand the importance of finding the right support and am here to assist in any way that's helpful to you. Before starting my private practice, I worked closely with high-risk youth and families, helping them navigate the complexities of trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, suicidal ideation, self-harm, personality disorders, relationship challenges, eating disorders, and so much more. Each story and struggle is important to me, and I strive to provide a safe space for healing and growth. I’m excited to share that my cozy office is located right at Ventura Harbor Village! On top of our traditional sessions, I now offer beach therapy, also known as “ocean therapy” or “coastal therapy.” It’s become quite popular lately! By incorporating nature and the beauty of the ocean, along with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I aim to help you achieve your personal goals while enjoying everything the beach has to offer. Let’s embark on this journey together! Can't find an appointment time online that works for you? Just send me an email at Kim@VenturaFamilyTherapy.com and we will figure out a time together!
