A Grounded Approach to Deep Work

Dr. Kimberly Diorio psychotherapist in Los Gatos

I’m Dr. Kim Diorio, a psychotherapist, coach, and embodiment guide based in Los Gatos, California. For more than 25 years, I have supported individuals through profound personal, relational, and professional transitions as a counselor, educator, and transformational guide.

My work integrates somatic trauma healing, nervous system awareness, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), and transpersonal approaches that honor the wisdom of both the body and the psyche. I specialize in supporting thoughtful, high-functioning adults who have done significant inner work yet still sense that something deeper is asking to be felt, integrated, and transformed.

I believe healing happens not only through insight, but through presence, safety, connection, and embodied experience. Together, we create space for meaningful change that is grounded, compassionate, and sustainable.

Whether we are working together in my Los Gatos office or in a coaching container, my intention is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, restore balance within your nervous system, and move toward a more authentic and wholehearted life.

Somatic Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Los Gatos.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

- CG Jung

When Intellectual Insight Isn't Enough

You may already understand your story. You’ve spent years reflecting, growing, reading, achieving, and perhaps even sitting in traditional talk therapy. Intellectually, you know the “why.” Yet beneath the insight, the anxiety, burnout, grief, or sense of disconnection still lives in the body.

This is because trauma and chronic stress are not only cognitive experiences. They are nervous system experiences. Healing often requires more than insight alone.

My work is designed for thoughtful, self-aware adults who are ready to move beyond analyzing their experience and begin reconnecting with the wisdom of the body. Through somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and integrative approaches, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), we create space for deeper healing, emotional integration, and lasting change.

Rather than staying solely in the mind, our work invites awareness, presence, and embodied transformation, helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been held in protection, survival, or exhaustion for a very long time.

Take a deep breath. Your journey begins with one courageous step.

Is This the Right Path for You?

This work may resonate with you if:

You’ve reached a plateau in traditional talk therapy

You have gained insight, self-awareness, and understanding of your patterns, yet something deeper still feels unresolved. You are seeking a more embodied approach to healing and transformation.

You are outwardly successful but inwardly exhausted

You are thoughtful, capable, and high functioning, yet beneath the surface, you may carry chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, or a persistent sense of disconnection.

You are drawn to both science and spirituality

You value evidence-based approaches while also remaining open to deeper questions of meaning, consciousness, intuition, and expanded states of awareness.

You are ready for more than symptom management

You are no longer interested in simply coping or surviving. You are seeking deeper alignment, nervous system healing, emotional integration, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and your life.

You are seeking a grounded space for deep inner work

You want support that honors both psychological depth and spiritual wisdom, within a compassionate, ethical, and professionally held therapeutic relationship.

Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your inner wisdom at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
