Kimberly Cervantes, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kimberly!

I use a Strength-Based Model approach to counseling and life while giving ideas for managing and changing problems that come up. I guide people through the path of healing life's wounds and bring their relationships more joy and satisfaction.

My focus

I am comfortable working with a wide, unlimited scope of client issues.

My approach

I combine several theories of counseling in my practice, including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy.

My communication style

I use a soft but assertive approach to listen effectively to what you want to express while guiding you towards healing and giving suggestions that are proven to create a happier, more satisfying life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had a challenging relationship with my mother, which impacted my mental health, and my path towards becoming a therapist helped to heal the wounds and gave me a deeper understanding of myself.

My goals for you

Both the client and I create the goals. I make suggestions and help create small steps that help clients feel confident in their ability to grow and change.
