Meet Chloe Kinman, LCSW
Anxiety & Trauma Therapist in Los Angeles, CA
Virtual therapy throughout California & Washington
I know what it’s like to be highly self-aware and still feel stuck in the same patterns. I spent a long time understanding anxiety intellectually while still walking through the world feeling like I had done something wrong, that someone was upset with me, or that I needed to work harder to earn rest, approval, or safety.
I also know what it feels like to live in a body that is asking for care, slowness, and attention while another part of you wants to keep pushing forward no matter the cost. Navigating autoimmune illness forced me to confront the ways I had learned to override my own needs and disconnect from my body in order to keep functioning. That experience deeply shaped the way I approach therapy; focusing on compassion, attunement, and the belief that insight alone is not enough if your nervous system still feels unsafe.
No one is mad at you.
You’re not in trouble.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
How I Help:
I believe lasting change comes from understanding not just what you're struggling with, but why these patterns developed in the first place. Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you, process what's keeping you stuck, and build new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you are today.
I practice from an integrative, relational-psychodynamic and trauma-informed framework, incorporating attachment-based, parts-informed, cognitive-behavioral, somatic, and EMDR approaches to help you regulate overwhelming emotions, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to help you move beyond simply coping, so you can feel calmer, more connected, and more confident living a life that feels true to you.
I’m here to help you create real and lasting change.
What anxiety therapy with me looks like:
We start by understanding the patterns that have kept you stuck.
Together, we’ll explore:
Why you feel responsible for everyone's emotions
Why slowing down feels uncomfortable
Why your inner critic is so loud
Why your body feels constantly on alert
Where you learned that your needs came second
Then we work toward creating something different.
You’ll learn how to:
Stop overthinking
Trust yourself more deeply
Set boundaries without guilt
Feel safer in your body
Respond instead of react
Rest without feeling like you need to earn it
