Kimberly Leong

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Hello and welcome. My name is Kimberly Leong, and I’m delighted you’re here.

It is understandable to feel stuck, despair, and hopeless when you face challenges, setbacks, and suffering in life. Whatever waters you’re going through, my desire is to be a warm, safe person in which you feel the ability to bring out your truest self in my therapy room without experiencing judgment or criticism. We cannot change unless we are met with safety and unconditional regard, and I hope to be that person for you. (You may not even be going through a rough patch currently, and you just want to explore what makes you, you. I am here for that too.)

My path to becoming a therapist began with having experienced healing in my own individual therapy almost a decade ago, as well as navigating mental illness myself and wanting to lessen the stigma around the topic of mental health. I earned my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Biola University where I immersed myself in understanding the complexities of oneself, relationships, and the myriad ways in which we connect with one another. Through my studies, research, and first-hand experience of being on the other couch in the therapy room, I’ve come to appreciate the profound impact that compassionate guidance and a safe therapeutic space can have on personal development.

I am happy to work with individuals, couples, and families of all backgrounds and contexts, and I especially enjoy working with those who experience difficulties in the areas of relationship and interpersonal issues, depression and bipolar disorder, exploration of racial and ethnic identity, life transitions, and exploration of faith & spirituality.

Just as I have been incredibly blessed by the wonderful, compassionate therapists in my own personal life, my hope is that I help meet you and encourage you on your on-going journey to find healing and wholeness. It would be an honor and a privilege to walk with you through your highs and low’s and everything in between. I believe we can work together. Please know and remember, you are not alone.
