Karla R. Kim, LLC

Welcome to my practice, where I offer a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to explore their challenges and celebrate their strengths. As a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to guiding you through the complexities of life, relationships, and emotional well-being. Growing up on Oahu, I understand the importance of providing a culturally sensitive and respectful space to individuals and couples from all walks of life in Hawaii’s rich and varied community. I am proud to be Gottman trained in Levels 1 and 2, allowing me to utilize proven techniques to strengthen relationships. Additionally, I have attended specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for both couples and individuals, which emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and attachment in relationships. I work from an attachment framework, integrating concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to equip you with tools to navigate life’s stressors effectively. In our sessions, I aim to create a welcoming environment where you can openly talk, process your feelings, and explore strategies to live your best life. Therapy is a journey towards self-discovery, balance, and improved well-being, and I am here to support you every step of the way. We will focus on managing life’s challenges while prioritizing self-care and achieving a harmonious balance in your daily life. In addition to individual and couples therapy, I am excited to introduce a Step Mom Support Group, designed to provide a safe space for stepmothers to share their experiences, navigate the unique nuances of this role, and build a community of support and encouragement. Together, we will foster connections that empower you to thrive in your parenting journey and maintain balance in your life. Let us embark on this path towards healing and growth together.
