Dr. Kimberly Igirio

Your mental and physical wellbeing are more connected than you may realize, and both deserve attention and care. Experiences such as trauma, ongoing stress, anxiety, and depression can affect how you feel, sleep, function, and experience everyday life. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over eight years of experience in behavioral medicine, I specialize in sleep psychology, insomnia treatment, behavioral health changes, and supporting individuals living with chronic medical conditions. I also work with concerns such as trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties, substance use, and life transitions. I believe meaningful progress begins with understanding the whole person, including how past experiences, emotional challenges, and physical health influence one another. My goal is to help you better understand these connections and develop practical, sustainable ways to feel better.

Our work will focus on helping you understand the connection between your experiences, thoughts, behaviors, emotional wellbeing, and physical health while building skills that support lasting change. We'll explore how trauma, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress may be affecting your quality of life. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier responses, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to address the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with restful sleep, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you navigate difficult emotions while staying connected to what matters most to you. Trauma-informed approaches will help us explore how past experiences may continue to influence your present wellbeing, while Motivational Interviewing can help you build confidence around health-related changes and Solution Focused Brief Therapy can help identify strengths and practical steps toward your goals. Whether we're working through the effects of trauma, improving sleep, managing chronic health concerns, or strengthening emotional resilience, our sessions will be collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.

You do not need to navigate everything on your own or have all the answers before starting therapy. I want our sessions to be a comfortable, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll identify what is getting in the way of your wellbeing, explore how past experiences may be affecting you today, and develop realistic strategies that fit into your everyday life. You can expect thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and an approach that recognizes the importance of both your mental and physical health. Whether you're hoping to heal from trauma, sleep better, manage stress, adjust to a chronic health condition, or feel more emotionally balanced, my goal is to help you build confidence in your ability to make meaningful and lasting changes.
