Kimberly Acuna(She/Her/Hers)

Kimberly Acuna is a therapist based in Florida who works with children and adults. Many of Kimberly’s clients struggle adjusting to life changes including transitions and recent stressors. Kimberly uses a collaborative approach to explore how past stressors or trauma impacts one's ability to cope with current life challenges. She is deeply passionate about serving individuals who feel “stuck,” and want to get “unstuck.” Kimberly’s approach includes evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside holistic modalities, emphasizing the mind-body connection. The interventions include somatic practices, inner child healing work, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and cognitive processing therapy.

This integrative perspective allows a comprehensive understanding of each individual’s challenges and strengths. Each goal is uniquely tailored to you by you, as you share your story in a safe space. Kimberly also recognizes the importance of social justice in mental health and strives to empower clients by addressing the systemic barriers that may impact their well-being. By honoring the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality, and socio-economic status, Kimberly aims to create a therapeutic alliance that promotes healing, resilience, and self-advocacy.

Kimberly’s framework is guided by practice in community-based organizations during her time at Columbia University. Kimberly worked alongside a New York council member identifying and advocating for people's needs and advocated alongside attorneys for folks with immigration cases at Brooklyn Defender Services in New York. Kimberly has witnessed resilience and the power of sharing and listening to people’s stories.

Kimberly believes in the tedious, continuous, but rewarding growth process as people navigate life. As a mother and dreamer, Kimberly believes everyone deserves to thrive, not just survive. Kimberly welcomes you on this journey to increase understanding, empathy, and love of oneself, and move forward. Kimberly is honored to be a part of your journey.
