Hello, my name is Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan. I am a psychologist who has a wide range of different settings that I have gained my experience of over 20 years in the field. I have been married for too long to say and have 2 teenaged boys and a dog. I have had the joy in having worked in certain clinical settings such as private practice, school settings, church and university settings. I also have been an adjunct professor teaching subjects such as Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology 101.
The clients I often see are individual adults, children, and adolescents. The approach of counseling that I utilize addresses your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I have done a lot of work with parenting problems, depression, anxiety, ADHD, kids who are being bullied, and children/adolescence who have and a specialized school plan such as an IEP or 504. I have also worked with divorce issues and custody issues.
My therapeutic style is an integrative, client-centered manner that creates an environment to ensure that the highest quality care is provided. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques that include Behavioral, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness-based Therapy, as well as Psychoeducational. I promote growth with my clients by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere, so that you can feel heard, validated, and supported.

Dr. Sullivan is kind, compassionate, and patient. I had no idea what to expect when starting Therapy and I feel so incredibly lucky to have matched with a Therapist (on the first try) who has been absolutely pivotal in my personal and professional development over this past month. One of the greatest comforts after experiencing some of the highest anxiety of my life was knowing another session with Dr. Sullivan was right around the corner.

I've been working with Dr. Sullivan on some significant relationship issues with my spouse, and she has been extremely supportive. She is able to show that she cares by checking in between appointments via message, listening and hearing me, helping me to name my emotions and talking to me about how to stand up for myself through a very difficult time. I'm looking forward to continuing with her.

Dr. Sullivan is an excellent therapist. She clearly has the ability to discern what type of feedback will be most effective for you as an individual, as opposed to simply employing standard techniques. Dr. Sullivan is insightful, compassionate, and appropriately direct when that's called for. Dr. Sullivan has offered a variety of resources, and suggested a variety of ways to make the process effective and beneficial. Highly recommended.

Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is an excellent therapist. Her profile bio is true to word. She is so much more than a great listener, she is a SKILLED doctor who understands and comprehends complex anxiety/panic/fear based issues. She possesses extraordinary wisdom in not only guiding her clients, but also giving them the necessary tools that are required for the patient to overcome anxiety and manage them accordingly. For me personally, Her FAITH and her wisdom as a therapist (tying those two together) are the perfect combination towards healing. If you are seeking a bright, strong professional therapist with strong faith based values, DR. KIMBERLY DEUS SULLIVAN is the PERFECT THERAPIST FOR YOU!
