Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan, LMHC

Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is an LMHC practicing in Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with individual adults and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, ADHD, grief, and addictions. Her background also includes work with body image, caregiver stress, and blended family issues.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered practice. Sessions tend to focus on listening, practical skills, and steps people can try between meetings. Dr. Sullivan incorporates behavioral and cognitive tools along with mindfulness exercises when useful.

Her experience spans private practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient programs. That range informs a flexible style that balances skills training with problem-focused work. Clients who want concrete strategies for handling stress, anger, or parenting challenges may find this approach helpful.

In session she may suggest short exercises, readings, or audio material to support what’s discussed. Conversations move between what’s happening now and patterns that repeat from earlier relationships. Attachment issues and codependency are areas she often notices when people bring concerns about blended households and family dynamics.

People looking for practical steps to manage anxiety, impulsivity, or relationship tension will find sessions that aim to reduce overwhelm and increase clearer choices. The therapist frames work as a collaboration, using methods such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning.
