Getting to know Lisa Kim
Hi, I'm Lisa Kim. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 49076) with a Master’s in Psychology from Antioch University. I am client-centered and driven to collaborate with clients in search of solution-focused ideas to overcome barriers. I am an experienced psychotherapist and MFT with a history of working in community mental health and the hospital/healthcare industry. Since 2007, my specializations have included child/adolescent developmental psychology, family systems, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, and spiritual counseling.
My approach
I endorse an integrative model that rejects a cookie-cutter approach to therapy. Meeting clients where they’re at, I build a clinical alliance based on compassion, mindfulness, curiosity, mutual respect, and motivational interviewing. I encourage clients to reflect, envision, and create goals while offering support and ideas to promote ongoing movement forward.
My focus
I typically work with preteen and teenage populations and families. I also support young adults experiencing “launching” and “starter” issues, as well as middle to older age populations struggling through life transitions. I have a record of working with people living with depression, anxiety, adjustment struggles, ADHD, and providing IEP and Regional Center advocacy.
My communication style
My style is conversationally soothing, pragmatic, and centered on strengthening the clinical alliance, as nothing can be achieved in therapy without this. Specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy, I gently challenge assumptions and beliefs through curious questioning to identify and shift maladaptive thoughts toward a more balanced and helpful state.
My first session with you
I will introduce myself, share my work history and specializations, and review informed consent, including confidentiality, exceptions, and my duty as a mandated reporter.
