Your Grounded Path to Authentic Connection
A trauma-informed journey through nervous system regulation, embodied healing, and relational transformation.
About Me
I’m Kim Lennon, a licensed trauma therapist.
My passion is guiding individuals to release the grip of past trauma stored in their bodies, transforming unconscious survival responses into conscious choices. My work empowers you to stop self-abandoning, cultivate true self-worth, and build relationships where you feel safe, seen, and deeply connected.
Often, we find ourselves caught in protective patterns—what I call nervous system archetypes—like the Fixer, People-Pleaser, Peacekeeper, or Fiercely Independent. These aren't fixed identities; they're your body's intelligent strategies to keep you safe, but they don't have to define you.
My approach blends deep nervous system awareness with practical, embodied healing tools. I guide you beyond endlessly analyzing the past or simply understanding why you react, into actively learning the 'what now'—concrete ways to regulate your nervous system and respond from a grounded, authentic place.
I believe true healing comes from understanding your body's wisdom and learning to be present with your own experience. My goal is to help you truly connect with yourself and let your body be your guide.
While I continue to work with clients in focused 1:1 therapy sessions, I am actively developing online courses designed to equip even more people with these transformative, practical tools for nervous system regulation and self-reclamation. My mission is to empower you to live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection in all areas of your life.
Some of My Core Values
Self-Trust and Inner-Knowing
Whether you’ve been trained to seek approval, avoid conflict, stay busy, or do it all on your own, the common thread is disconnection from your own truth. I help you come home to yourself—learning to trust your needs, honor your instincts, and lead your life from within. When you stop abandoning yourself, everything changes.
Clarity Through Action
Confidence doesn’t come from thinking—it comes from doing. Whether it’s a small, brave step or a bold leap, momentum builds when you move. My work is rooted in helping you take aligned action, so growth becomes something you live, not just something you talk about.
Connection is the Medicine
If you’ve learned to stay quiet, fix everything, or rely only on yourself, connection can feel unfamiliar—or even unsafe. But healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship—in spaces where you feel seen, safe, and accepted. I believe in reconnecting: to your body, your truth, your community, and the parts of yourself you’ve had to hide to stay strong.
My Approach:
Rewiring for Resilience
Do you ever feel stuck in the same old patterns, even when you understand why they happen? You know the story, but struggle to choose a different path forward?
My approach goes beyond endless analysis, focusing instead on what's happening in your body, right now. As a trauma therapist, I specialize in nervous system regulation and embodied healing, guiding you to gently release the grip of past experiences held within.
This work helps you recognize the intelligent, yet outdated, survival strategies—like people-pleasing, constant fixing, conflict avoidance, or pushing others away. These aren't who you are; they're learned responses that can be gently rewired.
You'll gain practical tools to regulate your nervous system, allowing you to:
Stop shrinking for others.
Move beyond overwhelm or shutting down.
Set boundaries with clarity.
Trust your inner knowing.
Stay connected to yourself, even in challenging moments.
It's about cultivating a deep, quiet strength that grows from within—not from external approval or striving. You'll learn to take up space, honor your own needs, and build relationships that feel truly authentic and connected. My goal is to equip you with the "what now"—the skills to live from a grounded, integrated place, allowing your body to be your guide toward lasting well-being.

Education & Credentials
I earned my Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University, and my bachelor’s in Social Sciences (emphasis in Psychology, Sociology, and Economics) from Cal State San Bernardino. I’m a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a certified EMDR therapist through EMDRIA. I have Somatic Experiencing training and am currently getting certified as a Forest therapy practitioner.
For years, my work focused on trauma recovery. It still is—but not by analyzing the past. Now, I help people recognize trauma-driven patterns, shift out of survival states, and take grounded action toward a life that actually feels good to live.
A little more about me…
My hobbies include Crossfit, pottery, gardening, yoga, reading, hiking, walking my dogs, spending time in the forest, scuba diving, hang-gliding (only did it once, but loved it!), traveling, and spending time with friends and family. I’m currently developing an online course called The Power Shift - A trauma-informed path to reclaiming your power, healing your nervous system, and transforming how you show up in relationships. I’m working diligently on this and am so excited!
