Rate Kimberly Prohaska

I have over 20 years experience working with adults, adolescents, and children providing individual, family and group therapy. I am originally from New England where I did my counseling training but have also lived in the south and now in California. I think my experiences of practicing in different parts of the country have allowed me to have a unique understanding of how different people from different backgrounds experience life stress. Cultural competence is an important value for my practice.

I like to take a comprehensive approach, developing a relationship with my clients and then tailoring therapy to their specific needs and goals. I have received extensive training in several evidence based practices including buy not limited to DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and TF-CBT. I have completed extensive training in providing trauma informed services.

My professional experience includes working in Forensic Social Work with children who have experienced abuse, inpatient psychiatric therapy, outpatient psychotherapy, as well as years in clinical management and clinical supervision. Currently, my private practice focus's on providing individual therapy to those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, management of significant mental health issues such as Bi-Polar disorder. I work extensively with the LBGTQ community and have extensive experience working with clients who are trans gendered. I also work with clients recovering from trauma or have experienced difficulties due to family members who suffer from such disorders as Borderline Personality disorder or Narcissism.
