About

I’m a licensed marriage & family therapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Martin!

Founder of KMT. Curious go-getter. Creative soul. Big fan of feelings.

I’ve made it my mission to transform sensitivity into strength, to help you reclaim your emotional voice and show up fully— just as you are.

I’ve always been deeply moved by the power of meaningful relationships and the courage it takes to pursue your dreams—whether it’s in the therapy room or watching someone bare their heart in an American Idol audition. These moments stir something in me, and they’re a big part of why I feel so connected to this work.

As a kid, I often felt “too sensitive” or “too soft.” Over time, I learned that what some see as sensitivity, I’ve come to embrace as strength. Tough love doesn’t work for everyone (it definitely didn’t work for me 🙋🏻‍♀️), and that realization has shaped the compassionate, client-centered approach I bring to therapy.

It’s taken years of personal exploration, healing, and building my own self-care toolkit to get here. Now, it’s my greatest joy to support others as they do the same—tuning into their emotions, nurturing their growth, and reaching for what truly matters to them.

Outside the office

Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me baking sweet treats or soaking up the sun at a picnic. I love the simple joys of sharing good food and laughter. When it comes to self-care, I lean on both breathwork and weightlifting—lifting has become a surprising and empowering mindfulness practice for me, helping me feel grounded and connected to my body.

In their words

People often describe me as warm, welcoming, and open-minded. Past clients have shared that they feel genuinely seen and understood in our work together—and that means the world to me.

My goal is to co-create a safe & welcoming space where you can feel safe to show up fully as yourself, knowing I’m right here with you, committed to understanding your unique story.

Understanding

My approach is casual, collaborative, and rooted in genuine connection. I take the time to understand your inner world—how you think, feel, and move through challenges. Through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversation, we’ll explore what matters most to you and how to support your growth from the inside out.

How I show up for you as a therapist

Patient

Good things take time—and so does healing. Being vulnerable and exploring life’s complexities requires safety and trust. I’m here to meet you with patience, without judgment, and exactly where you are in your process. Our work is a collaboration, and I’ll walk alongside you at your pace, every step of the way.

Creative

I tap into my creative, thoughtful energy, and stay curious about new ideas and approaches in the field. I draw from a variety of therapeutic practices and enjoy tailoring tools and strategies to fit your unique goals. Whether it’s reworking an exercise or finding a more playful approach, I’m always looking for ways to make our work together feel meaningful, engaging, and true to you— your needs, your pace, your vision for growth.
