Kylie Kirkwood, ACSW (she/her)

Clinical Therapist

Philosophy

Kylie (she/her) utilizes a collaborative and person-centered approach to support individuals with eating disorders and co-occurring disorders. She is a fat positive, HAES aligned, queer affirming, and neurodivergent affirming therapist passionate about creating a safe space for clients to tell their story and define their recovery. Her hope is for her clients to gain insight into themselves by exploring how their lived experiences in relationships and broader sociocultural systems have impacted their mental and physical health, cultivate compassion for themselves, and feel empowered to move away from behaviors and dynamics that no longer serve them. In your therapy with Kylie, she will offer warmth, insight, and humor to promote healing and help you to meet your goals. Kylie is a white, bisexual, cisgender woman living in a bigger body with lived experience of OCD, depression, and food and body healing.

Kylie is a major movie and tv buff! She also enjoys ceramics, trying new restaurants, and cuddling with her two cats in her free time.

Experience

Kylie received her Bachelor of Art degree in Sociology from University of California, Los Angeles and my Master of Social Work from California State University, Fullerton. She has worked at the partial hospitalization level of care, providing support to adolescents with eating disorders and other co-occurring disorders. She also has experience providing mental health support to people of all ages at an LGBTQIA+ community mental health center and an outpatient eating disorder practice.
