Once you get going, you’ll wonder why you went so long without a safe space to work through life’s challenges. My clients often express pride in themselves for how much they have grown through counseling and you can feel this way too! Call me today for a free 20-minute consultation to see if working together can help you achieve your personal wellness goals. I look forward to getting to know you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2bbab0718b664290678c5b/t/5e2e61cce4eeae3a013a0697/1582083656404/scripps-pier-with-birds.jpg Home | Kimara Houseman - “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – A.A.

My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space where I may assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself to facilitate positive change. No life is free of pain, but life is too short to constantly feel out of control, lost, or unfulfilled. Self-exploration and skill building through our work together can help you make sense of life's challenges and feel more fulfilled. With over a decade of experience in mental health, my clinical background includes working with adults, youth, and families in outpatient, hospital, and residential settings. I specialize in anxiety, depression, personal empowerment, overcoming trauma or difficult life events, and maternal mental health. My approach is strength-based and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores how negative thinking patters are holding you back. I also incorporate Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment theory, and Family Systems theory into my work. I received my BA in psychology from University of California San Diego and my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of San Diego. As a native San Diegan, I feel privileged to do meaningful work with incredible people in a city I love. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2bbab0718b664290678c5b/t/5e3ca288d1a572231f6bd680/1581032094553/IMG_3019.jpg About | Kimara Houseman - “You do better in the gym with a trainer; you don’t figure out how to cook without reading a recipe.
