About Kimball
Dr. Kimball Pier is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing big life changes, heavy losses, and the strong feelings that come with them.
She welcomes stories that open a new way of seeing yourself. She commonly helps people with relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and co-parenting challenges, and issues around addiction and depression.

Background and approach
Practical matters like divorce, blended family dynamics, and developing parenting plans are part of her day-to-day work. Her approach blends an interest in inner meaning with concrete skills. She draws on Jungian Therapy to look at personal symbols and life patterns.
She uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand relationship needs and patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness and somatic techniques to help with stress and trauma-related symptoms. Sessions aim to be respectful and down-to-earth.
She listens for family-of-origin issues, abandonment themes, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Then she and the person collaborate on steps to reduce distress and improve communication. Her style is calm, direct, and compassionate.
Dr. Pier practices in California and works with people who want to change how they respond to difficult emotions and life events. She brings experience in mediation and caregiving concerns, including hospice and end-of-life counseling.

How Jungian, Attachment, and Mindfulness Work Online
Jungian Therapy looks at recurring life themes and personal symbols to help people find meaning in their struggles. It can be useful for those wrestling with identity, grief, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections; it helps people improve communication and feel more supported in relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and manage stress and strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Pier will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels useful. Together they tailor a plan that might mix Jungian exploration, attachment work, and mindfulness or somatic practices depending on the needs and preferences of the person seeking help.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility.
