Kimberly Holland

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in CA and TN and registered telehealth LMFT provider in Florida. I have specialized training in EMDR for trauma and the Gottman Method for relationships. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve worked with children, teens, parents, couples, and individuals across a range of settings, including public schools, non-profit community and county mental health services, as well as Kaiser Permanente Medical Group, where I have supported clients with concerns ranging from mild to severe, including crisis situations.

I bring a genuine, curious, compassionate sometimes humorous presence to my work, grounded in meaningful life experience and an understanding of how complex and challenging life can be. I have firsthand experience with complicated family dynamics, marriage, parenting, and personal loss, which allows me to meet you with empathy, openness, and without judgment. I’m not afraid of life’s messiness, and I’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you so you can begin to open up and feel safe.

My approach is warm, supportive, engaging and collaborative. As trust develops, I take a supportive, yet gently challenging and more directive approach to help foster meaningful growth and lasting change.

I utilize a client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring methods to your unique needs and goals. To help you manage unhelpful thought patterns and reduce emotional distress, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). For trauma work, I use Attachment-Based EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can help process distressing past experiences that may be keeping you stuck. For couples therapy, I use the Gottman Method

and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps strengthen connection and communication.

These approaches address the root causes of distress and painful patterns while providing tools and insight for healthy coping today. With greater self-understanding comes deeper connection, peace, and fulfillment. If you’re ready to break free from unhealthy patterns and create the life and relationships you deserve, I invite you to reach out. ***Please note I have limited availability for insurance covered couples counseling and am currently fully booked.

The first step in therapy is creating a sense of trust and comfort, so you feel safe sharing the more personal parts of your life. I strive to offer an experience that is warm, open, nonjudgmental, and compassionate— a space that is all about you where you can feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. We will move at a pace that is comfortable for you because successful therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship and client's sense of safety. Together, with my guidance and your willingness to engage in the process of self-reflection and growth, we can help you create meaningful change. To start we'll review your concerns and goals going forward.
