Sarah Kimmons

My name is Sarah Kimmons and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Palm Springs, CA, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents, families, and adults and specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Person Center and come with a holistic approach to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use CBT and DBT, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for teens and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style is calm, accommodating, personable, and unconditional. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was a peer counselor in school, volunteering in my local community, or being a trusted and loyal friend, I have always naturally been to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often started by building trust between us, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress. Our first session will be spent getting to know you, developing trust, and making sure I am a good fit for your needs.
