ABOUT DR. RYAN KIMBALL, PH.D.

Dr. Ryan Kimball is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the Denver area. His approach to therapy is cognitive-behavioral with a particular emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In your work with Dr. Kimball you can expect to focus first on what you value most in life and identify goals to help you live a life aligned with those values. Then, you will be guided in developing new perspectives and responses to old ways of thinking and feeling that often result in your feeling trapped. 

Dr. Kimball’s emphasis on a brief and evidence-based approach to therapy is based on his belief that efficient care is conscientious care. His primary focus is on providing a space that is emotionally safe, unconditionally accepting, and spiritually edifying. That is when the best healing will take place. You then work together to implement those evidence-based approaches to get you to a point where you feel empowered to self-manage your concerns and conditions and consistently choose the direction of your life.

Dr. Kimball deeply enjoys the therapy experience and process, because he believes it is a privilege to witness individuals reclaiming their lives and experiencing the profound satisfaction that comes from living a values-centered life. Outside of work, Dr. Kimball enjoys spending time with his spouse and four boys in any variety of activities, but most especially hiking, rock climbing, exploring, playing board/video games, and learning how to better foster unconditional love in those relationships.
