Your Guide to Real Emotional Transformation
MEET KIM SULLIVAN, LMFT
|
At Radiant Mind Therapy, Inc., our mission is to provide life-changing therapy that helps you heal, grow, and thrive. That journey starts with Kim Sullivan, LMFT, a compassionate and highly trained therapist who brings over two decades of experience and a deep commitment to helping clients achieve breakthrough results in their emotional and mental health.
Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, or past trauma, Kim offers a unique and powerful therapeutic approach designed to meet you where you are—and guide you toward where you want to be.
A Deep Commitment to Healing and Growth
Kim Sullivan is more than just a licensed therapist—she’s a lifelong student of psychological transformation. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Education from UC Davis in 1992, Kim obtained her California Teaching Credential and worked in public education before answering her deeper calling in the field of mental health.
She earned her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from National University in 2004 and became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in 2007. From there, her dedication to emotional wellness only deepened. Kim has worked in a variety of settings, including residential treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, and in roles supporting families involved in the child welfare system. These experiences helped shape her into the well-rounded, empathetic, and clinically sound therapist she is today.
Training That Goes Beyond Traditional Therapy
Kim Sullivan’s work is grounded in evidence-based therapy models, especially Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and TEAM CBT Therapy, two revolutionary approaches that help clients make real and lasting changes.
Her journey with DBT began in graduate school and continued through advanced certifications, including a comprehensive 4-day training in 2014 and ongoing professional development. She implements core DBT strategies—like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness—into sessions to support clients dealing with complex emotional patterns and crises.
In 2019, Kim was introduced to TEAM CBT, developed by Dr. David Burns, a Stanford psychiatrist and author. TEAM CBT is a structured and results-oriented evolution of traditional CBT therapy, combining testing, empathy, agenda setting, and powerful methods that accelerate healing and break down subconscious resistance to change. Kim completed four years of intensive study, passed a rigorous oral examination, and achieved Level 3 TEAM CBT Certification, one of the highest levels offered.
Today, she continues to attend weekly consultation groups and advanced trainings, ensuring that her therapy practice is continually evolving with the latest clinical insights.
Why Clients Choose Kim Sullivan
Clients often describe Kim as intuitive, approachable, and deeply skilled. She knows how to ask the right questions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and foster breakthroughs that have eluded people in therapy for years.
With Kim, you’re not just getting a supportive listener—you’re getting a strategic guide with the tools and training to create real emotional shifts. Her combined expertise in CBT, DBT, and TEAM Therapy allows her to tailor treatment to your needs, helping you get unstuck, feel better faster, and build a life that feels more authentic, connected, and resilient.

Collaborative goal setting to keep therapy focused and purposeful
