KIMBERLY IESE
LCSW
Kimberly earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. She began her career working with children in private clinics, residential treatment, and school settings, and for the past 13 years has called HawaiÊ»i home—serving in nursing homes, hospitals, and private practice. Kimberly supports older adults and their families, people living with chronic illness, students, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and trauma.
​
Clinically, Kimberly is trained in EMDR, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also integrates mindfulness to help clients become more present—letting go of worries about the future and the weight of the past. Kimberly believes each person is the expert on their own life and may simply need support to refocus, re-center, and reclaim their power. She is passionate about guiding clients as they move toward their full potential and the outcomes they desire.
​
Beyond her clinical work, Kimberly enjoys time with family, traveling, and staying involved in the arts.
