About Kimball
Dr. Kimball Pier is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience in California. She helps people facing major life transitions, intense loss, and overwhelming emotions that follow big changes. Her work often focuses on relationship strains, grief, trauma, and the ripple effects of family conflict.
She brings a calm, respectful style to sessions and listens for the practical steps people can take next. Conversations often look at patterns that developed in family life and attachment history. She also supports people managing substance use concerns, depression, and the emotional fallout from past abuse.
Past work includes mediation around conflict, support during divorce and separation, and developing parenting plans and co-parenting strategies. She has long experience with blended family issues and the communication problems that can follow family transitions. Clients may also address body image, chronic illness stress, caregiving strain, and end-of-life concerns.
Her approach draws from therapies that focus on attachment, body-based awareness, mindful practice, and depth work inspired by Jungian ideas. In sessions she combines talking and somatic awareness to help people notice how feelings show up in their bodies and relationships. The goal is clearer communication and more manageable daily coping.
Dr. Pier works with people who want steady, compassionate guidance during hard life changes. She welcomes hearing each person’s story and helping them find new ways of seeing themselves and their relationships.
