Clinicians

Kim McBride, PhD, LMFT

About

I have provided individual and couple therapy services and consulted with family-owned businesses for over 18 years. My education, training, and experience have prepared me to counsel individuals of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, and sexual orientations.

I view every individual’s problems in the context of their life and relationships. My approach to therapy is best described as brief, relationally based, client-centered and outcome-oriented. Areas of interest include personal growth and development, relationship enhancement, individual and family life-transition challenges, and career enrichment and transition. I often assign homework and ask clients to read pertinent articles. When appropriate, I use assessment tools and questionnaires to gather additional information. The length of treatment varies from client to client and couple to couple, generally ranging from one to four months.

When not counseling clients in private practice, I serve as a Teaching Faculty member at Antioch University Seattle’s School of Applied Psychology, Couple and Family Therapy program.
