Bio: About Kimia

I am passionate about offering an authentic, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where clients can explore their inner worlds without fear of judgment. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one that invites both reflection and action—and I strive to meet clients where they are emotionally, culturally, and developmentally.

My approach is integrative and grounded in evidence-based practices, shaped by the unique story and strengths of each client. Whether we are addressing anxiety, trauma, identity struggles, or relationship challenges, I work to foster a therapeutic alliance built on curiosity, trust, and care. I am especially attuned to the experiences of individuals navigating intergenerational stress, cultural disconnection, or feelings of not belonging.

A PERSONAL QUOTE 

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” – Sophia Bush

BIO 

You don’t have to go through it alone. I believe healing begins in welcoming, honest spaces where you feel seen, supported, and accepted — exactly as you are. Having lived across different countries and cultures, and navigated my own share of life’s trials, I bring compassion, lived perspective, and cultural responsiveness into every session. My work is grounded in empathy, emotional safety, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth — and in making sure no one feels alone in their healing journey. I integrate evidence-based modalities with a warm, humanistic approach to help clients feel connected, empowered, and gently guided toward meaningful change.
