About Kimaada

Kimaada brings more than 25 years of experience in healthcare and behavioral health to her work as a therapist. Long before becoming a marriage and family therapist, she cared for patients at the bedside as a certified nursing assistant and EMT, then spent many years leading care coordination and utilization management teams for one of San Diego's largest health systems. That background gives her a deep understanding of how stress, physical health, and emotional well-being shape one another, which makes her a natural fit for New Birth's whole-person approach.

Her clinical training includes trauma-informed substance use treatment, where she provided assessments, individual and group counseling, crisis support, and care coordination. Kimaada meets every client with compassion and without judgment. She believes healing begins when people feel safe enough to be honest about where they are, and she works alongside clients to build practical tools for real, lasting change.

Kimaada holds a Master of Arts in Psychology (Marriage and Family Therapy) from National University. She has completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training (Part 1), Healing Touch Levels 1 through 3, and mindfulness training, and she is currently pursuing a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science. She sees clients in person at our Mission Valley office and by telehealth anywhere in California.
