Hello and welcome! I am Juli Sims, LCSW 28368 (CA). I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 10 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with children, adults, and families. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, specifically childhood trauma. I am strength-based and compassionate. I do the work every day for myself, having experienced post-partum depression and anxiety. The bulk of my experience is working with women and women's issues, such as menopause, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, daily stressors, self-esteem, parenting, etc.

Everyone deserves the time and space to lay down their worries, their fears, their past, their pain—and especially their hopes for the future and the change they want to see in their lives. My job is to provide that time and space to my clients, listening attentively, non-judgmentally and empathetically. Once we’ve settled into that space, we can work together to identify your goals and work to achieve them. I am experienced in working with adults and teens with depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD and trauma, mood and thought disorders, substance use, grief, major life transitions and self-esteem. If you're ready, I'm here for you.

Hi, my name is Kathleen (Kit) Smith, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California, offering psychotherapy in person or through telehealth. I believe that everyone has their own answers about how to live their best life. Unfortunately, sometimes those answers are buried under layers of fear, trauma, shame, self doubt, or self-sabotaging beliefs. In therapy I like to help people identify and address the things that are getting in their way, so they can take authentic action towards having a happier, healthier life.

I help adults struggling with anxiety and depression triggered by relationship issues. Through person-centered therapy combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy, my clients gain insight into their emotions and behavior patterns both in and out of relationships. Through our work together, you will learn to regulate emotions and break unhealthy behavior patterns, leaving you free to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

In therapy it’s sometimes said you must feel it- to heal it, and for couples this can be especially true. I can help you process difficult emotions together and come to a mutual understanding, grow closer as a couple, and improve communication. I can also work with you independently. For the individuals I work with, I promote improving emotional strength, independence, developing confidence, refining assertiveness, accepting responsibility and finding your direction. I can help you to take an objective look at the relationship dynamics you may be trying to navigate and see if solutions can be found that work for you.
