About Kimberly
Kimberly Sullivan is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 20 years of professional experience. She has practiced in California since 2007 and draws on long-term clinical work to help people facing depression and other concerns. Kimberly uses structured, targeted methods in sessions and likes to move at a clear, practical pace.
She learned the TEAM CBT model and has continued study and consultation to sharpen her skills. TEAM CBT blends cognitive techniques with behavioral and emotional work to address patterns that keep people stuck. Kimberly combines that approach with straightforward conversation to help people identify problems and test new ways of coping.
Her background includes extended trainings and a regular consultation group to refine clinical work and address common treatment hurdles. She describes her learning as hands-on - watching changes happen and adapting methods to individual needs. That experience informs how she plans sessions and tracks progress.
Outside of therapy, Kimberly enjoys working with animals and is training two shelter rescue dogs. She has a long history with horses and teaches riding, and she holds a fourth degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. These interests shape her practical, disciplined approach to helping people make steady changes.
People who prefer direct, evidence-informed work that focuses on problem solving and clear tools may find her style useful. If you want a therapist who emphasizes learning new skills and testing them in everyday life, Kimberly offers that steady, experienced approach.
