About Kim
Kim Connolly is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years in the mental health field. She has spent much of her career in nonprofit settings and has worked with many people over short and long-term periods. She brings a warm, interactive style and a straightforward manner to sessions. Her work often addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.
She has decades of experience supporting people who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and the challenges that follow. Kim adapts her approach to match each person’s needs, using a mix of methods rather than a single technique. She values humor as part of healing and aims to meet clients where they are in the process.
Kim trained at Sonoma State University for her master’s in counseling and holds a California licensed marriage and family therapist credential. Much of her early work included internships and jobs in group homes and community agencies, which shaped her practical outlook on care. She draws on that background when helping people untangle day-to-day struggles.
Her sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the client. She is direct when needed and also patient with gradual change. People who prefer an honest, empathetic therapist who can use a variety of approaches may find her style fitting.
Outside of work she lives near the California coast and enjoys life with her dog. Her long history with animal rescue and fostering often surfaces as a conversational, humanizing element in sessions.
