Kimberly Telphy, BA, MS, PPSC, APCC

I’m Kimberly. Most people call me, Kim. I have a passion for working with adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with individuals from all ethnicities and backgrounds. My specialty is working with individuals who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-harm, self-esteem, ADHD behavioral, and development challenges.

My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe that true peace comes from within, while our problems may be external, problems are often solved internally by working on ourselves. Change is possible when we have the tools to create that change.

A little bit about my background, I have worked in the field of counseling for many years helping adolescents and families manage behaviors, anxiety, and trauma-related issues. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences with a Minor in Psychology from Chapman University, later earning a master’s degree in Education with a (PPSC) Pupil Personnel Services Credential in school counseling from the University of Redlands later completing my LPCC certification, from Azusa Pacific University.
