Dr. Kimberley Desir, PsyD

Psychologist
525 S 4th St, Ste 471, Philadelphia, PA
I view therapy as a collaborative process aimed at identifying effective tools for personal growth and change. My goal is to support you in your healing journey and provide a safe space to navigate life's inevitable challenges. My style is direct and empathic, creating a therapeutic environment where you can feel confident, empowered, and safe to explore vulnerability. I am passionate about assisting clients in self-exploration and personal growth, recognizing that this process varies for each individual. I provide individual therapy in-person and via telehealth for adults. My approach is integrative, grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). My clinical experience spans community mental health, inpatient psychiatric facilities, university counseling centers, and outpatient mental health settings. My clinical interests include stress and anxiety management, marginalized and intersecting identities, and relationship and attachment-related concerns. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. In my downtime, you can find me in a kickboxing class, traveling, or experimenting in the kitchen.
