Getting to know Kimura Washington
Hello, I'm Kimura (Key-mu-ra)! My name is Kimura Washington, a Southern Californian native. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I have had the pleasure of providing client-centered care to individuals in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and surrounding cities. I have worked with Veterans, Caregivers, Geriatric populations, and individuals who were homeless to support them in their journey to self-actualization, acceptance, and empowerment.
My approach
You are the driver, and I’m the GPS. Your current needs or concerns determine your destination. If you want a fast route without detours, we can use a Solution-Based Approach. If you desire a scenic route and want to revisit your history, we can take a Narrative Approach, uncover your strengths, and empower you. Whether your destination is straight or full of curves, a client-centered approach is always used.
My focus
My faith has led me to opportunities to support individuals across the life cycle from infants to geriatrics; addressing anxiety, depression, PTSD, life changes, grief and loss, homelessness, suicidal ideation, facility placement planning, separation from child welfare, and navigating the Veteran Health Administration for resources and continuity of care. I help clients recognize the tools they have to achieve their milestones. Our time together is about you—where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there.
My communication style
My style is positive, present, non-judgmental, and open. By nature, I am social and laugh often, believing laughter is medicine. I generally lean positive but acknowledge challenges exist and that our purpose for meeting is due to particular challenges.
