About Therapy
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
When you begin therapy, you’ll be met exactly where you are.
If this is your first time or your hundredth time, questions are always welcome at any point along the way.
You are the captain of this journey. I’m here as your guide.
I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand you better and help you move toward greater clarity, steadiness, and peace.
Experience lasting change you can carry forward.
As you do the work in therapy, something shifts. The peace you begin to feel within yourself can make life feel more manageable, and better prepares you to handle what comes next.
Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and build on what already exists within you, creating a toolbox you can carry forward.
Over time, therapy helps you feel more grounded, more centered, and less consumed by worry about the future.
In the months ahead, expect to step into a more confident version of yourself – ready to face life’s challenges with greater clarity and strength.
Therapy offers support for what comes next.
This is a space to slow down, get grounded, and have the conversations that matter.
Using approaches like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work, we’ll clarify what still matters — and what needs to shift.
The process stays practical and forward-moving, without pressure to force a specific outcome.
The goal is a resolution that feels thoughtful, respectful, and aligned with your values.
Over time, you can build clearer communication, steadier emotions, and greater confidence in your decisions – whether that means rebuilding a relationship or choosing a healthier path forward.
The right support can make this feel easier.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Support, clarity, and real tools are available.

About Kimberly Shathia, LPCC
The path that led me here…
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I work with clients across the lifespan – from teens to older adults.
My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t direct, but it was meaningful. Through my own experiences and witnessing the struggles of those close to me, I felt drawn to this work.
With a background in research, I took a thoughtful, intentional path: completing extensive training, gaining clinical experience, and becoming fully licensed in California.
I’ve been practicing since just before COVID-19, supporting clients through one of the most challenging periods for mental health in recent years.
Outside of sessions…
I’m married with two adult children who are striving to become a diesel engine mechanic and a nurse.
We live in Southern California on some acreage, where I enjoy spending time outdoors in my garden and with my many pets. The human-animal bond can be a wonderful healing tool, which I have found important in my own journey.
