Kimberly Latigue
I work with high-achieving women who can make sense of almost anything except their own feelings, and with couples who want to understand each other again. Before becoming a therapist, I built a successful corporate career.
I am also a licensed CPA so I integrate a practical and structured approach to therapy where I will validate your concerns while supporting your movement towards solutions.
I bring that clear, organized mind to therapy, along with real care for every person I work with.
First session
Our first session is about getting to know you. You can bring everything on your mind, with no need to have it sorted. I'll listen closely and reflect back what I hear in your own words. We'll talk about what brought you in and what you want to be different. You'll leave with a clear sense of where we're headed and how we'll get there.
Strengths
I'm structured and warm. I keep a clear plan for where our work is going, so sessions feel like you a getting somewhere. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you and why they react the way they do. Clients describe me as engaging, practical, and encouraging. They tell me I understand them without a long explanation, and that I don't rush them when they get stuck.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is a woman in her late 20s to early 40s who is great at her job and the one others lean on. She finds comfort in logic, holds herself to high standards, and cares a lot about what others think. Then something shakes loose: a breakup, a family rift, a job that asks her to go against her values. Now she's irritable, can't sleep, and is hard on herself. She overworks, scrolls, or says yes to everyone to avoid what she feels. She may have tried therapy before and felt like she just talked. She's ready to understand what's going on inside and do something with it. She may also be struggling in her relationship with her partner, feels the weight of the "mental load" and is ready to try couples therapy to find a new and more positive way forward that results in finally being "seen".
Treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) with a clear plan for our work, so sessions feel natural and still move forward. I also work with couples who want to reconnect. You'll leave each session with something to practice that week.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a very useful therapy that provides people with very useful tools that are easy to learn and implement. For those who struggle with emotional regulation such as overreacting or inappropriately reacting to circumstances, DBT has helped people to gain insight into their reactions, the emotions that fuel those reactions and tools to shift their process.
