Kim Macias, APCC

Associate Professional Clinical Counselor
APCC 5752

About Me: 

Picture


​I’ve always wanted to help others. Being a first generation Latinx I saw that mental health and wellness was something that was not talked about or explored in my community. I attended University of California San Diego, and graduated with B.Sc. in Psychology with a specialization in Neuroscience and Behavior. I worked for a number of years in an adolescence substance use lab before attending University of San Diego to obtain my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since graduating I’ve worked as a bilingual English/Spanish therapist in private practices, non profits, and school settings. 
​



​Who I am as a therapist: 

I believe in promoting well-being for all by helping clients with their mental health, family dynamics, behavior modification, and being an ear to listen about what it means to be a teen in today’s world. I use evidence based modalities to help my clients in this growth.

​Why I love what I do:

I feel that it is important to offer support to all and to help break down barriers and stigmatization in mental health wellness. It is honestly a privilege to be part of someone’s team to help them live their best possible life. I truly feel honored to be part of each of my clients’ journeys and how to best support them. ​

My areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Self-esteem
  • Social/Communication skills
  • Boundaries and self-care
  • Self-exploration and identity
  • Life transitions and adjustment
  • Cultural/Racial issues
  • Behavioral challenges
  • Emotional dysregulation
  • Academic and school challenges
  • Career counseling
  • Personal growth
  • Neurodiversity friendly
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Parent consultation/coaching
  • Relationship struggles
  • Trauma
