Kim Millhimes,

Welcome! I’m Dr. Kim Millhimes, PsyD (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I offer counseling to teens aged 13 and older, young adults, and adults.

I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2004 and have been practicing as a Clinical Psychologist since 2011. I am extremely passionate about being a clinician and have often said there is no better job in the world. Being able to help others see and realize their potential is incredibly rewarding and a true honor and privilege.

My Therapy Specialties

I specialize in therapy for anxiety, depression,  LGBTQIA+ support, panic, phobias, and OCD. I also offer experienced, professional counseling other mental health challenges including ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, body image, borderline personality disorder (BPD), chronic illness/chronic pain, divorce/separation, eating disorders/disordered eating, gifted adults, grief, health & wellness goals, life transitions, postpartum, pregnancy & perinatal, racial identity, relationship issues, self-harm, self-esteem, sexual abuse, sleep problems, spirituality, stress, suicidal ideation, and trauma & PTSD.

My Educational Background

I earned my Bachelor of Psychology degree from Gettysburg College in 2002 and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Towson University in 2004. I completed a Doctorate in Psychology from La Salle University in Philadelphia in 2009. I completed a clinical internship in the counseling center at the Metropolitan State College of Denver in Denver, Colorado, and a post-doctoral residency at the Renfrew Center in Philadelphia, working with women with eating disorders within a residential setting.

My Techniques and Therapy Training

My training and background are very firmly rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and acceptance-based therapies, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I integrate strength-based, person-centered, Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBCT), Positive Psychology, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy approaches to my therapy sessions. 

You are unique, and I’ll collaborate with you on which approach allows us to work together as a team. Together, we’ll focus on identifying and living out your values in the life domains you identify as most important to you.  We’ll aim to set achievable goals in line with those values.

Tuning out Noise

We live in a world that is too loud and overstimulating for many of our brains. It will be important to me to help you tune out some of the noise and tune into what brings you the most joy and fulfillment in life. I believe this is often achieved through quieting the mind and tuning into the wisdom our bodies often deliver to us.

About Me

I avidly love nature and enjoy hiking, kayaking, skiing, and playing tennis. I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction and love exploring independent bookstores. Health and nutrition are very important to me, so cooking, baking, and trying new recipes are a big part of my life. I am married and the mother to two teenage sons, often spending time with them at the soccer field! We also have two beautiful greyhounds who have been a wonderful addition to our lives.

I very much look forward to getting to know you and working with you. You have my commitment to providing the care and understanding you deserve.
