Therapy That Honors the
Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

Hello + Welcome

Whatever you're growing through right now, healing is possible. And you don't have to figure it out alone.

Whether you're feeling stuck in old patterns, navigating stress, anxiety or depression, recovering from trauma, loss or midlife, or longing for more peace, purpose, and connection in your life, we’re here for you.

Maybe you've been in therapy before, and it helped, but it didn't quite get to the places that still need tending. Or maybe you've been holding it all together for so long (the career, the family, the mental load of a life that costs everything you've got) that you've forgotten what it feels like to actually live your life.

You deserve more than a life of chaos, overwhelm, and a system stuck in survival mode.

At The Holistic Counseling Center, we offer in-person therapy in San Anselmo that honors the mind-body-spirit connection. We believe that symptoms are signals, guiding you towards what needs to be healed, integrated, and reclaimed.

We are currently accepting new clients, with daytime and evening appointments available.

If you're ready for support, schedule a free call to learn more and get matched with a therapist.

"To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don't wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now." — Alan Cohen

Who We Work With

the holistic counseling center san anselmo

We believe true healing happens when we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. That means we don't stop at helping you feel better. We walk the full path with you, from finding safety in your nervous system, to reconnecting with your heart, to remembering who you actually are underneath the pain, the programming, and the patterns.

How we approach holistic psychotherapy:

  • Clinically Grounded, Spiritually Informed Our work is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic methods. It's also informed by something deeper. We honor the spiritual dimensions of your life, not as an afterthought, but as an essential part of who you are and how you heal.

  • More Than Symptom Management We look beneath the surface to understand what's actually driving your distress. The emotional threads, the body's signals, the patterns that started long before you had words for them. We're not interested in quick fixes. We want to unearth the root.

  • You Are Not Your Diagnosis We view your struggles as messages worth listening to, not as evidence that there's something wrong with you. Our work honors you as a whole person, not a collection of problems to fix. We're here to help you reconnect with who you are beyond your symptoms and build the self-trust and self-love that are foundational to the healing journey.

  • Practical Skills + Deep Inner Work Our sessions balance grounded, everyday strategies with deeper therapeutic exploration. Whether you're learning to regulate your nervous system, engaging in shadow work, or reconnecting with your inner child, you'll walk away with tools you can use right now and the deeper understanding that makes healing and change possible.

Take the next step on your healing journey. Schedule a free consultation call to get started with one of our San Anselmo therapists.

Types of Therapy We Offer:

  • holistic therapist san anselmo, san anselmo holistic psychotherapist

    Holistic Therapy


    Healing requires more than just changing your mind. Holistic therapy weaves together evidence-based clinical methods with practices that honor the mind, body, heart and spirit on your healing journey.

  • ifs therapist san anselmo, ifs therapy san anselmo

    Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)


    Learn to identify and understand all the parts that make you 'you'. IFS helps you reclaim parts of yourself long ago abandoned, offering compassion where there has been judgment and understanding where there has been pain. The result? More peace, more ease, more freedom to live your life.

  • somatic therapist san anselmo, somatic therapy san anselmo, somatic experiencing therapy san anselmo, somatic psychotherapist san anselmo, san anselmo somatic psychotherapist

    Somatic Therapy


    Your body encodes everything you experience in your life: memories, feelings, experiences, desires. Somatic therapy works directly with the body and nervous system, helping you move out of survival mode and release what talk therapy alone can't always reach.

  • cbt therapist san anselmo, san anselmo therapist cbt, cbt san anselmo

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)


    Learn how to change your negative thought patterns and behaviors by working directly with the mind. CBT gives you practical, grounded tools you can use in your life right now. It's the gold standard for anxiety and depression because it works.

  • emdr therapist san anselmo, san anselmo trauma therapist, san anselmo EMDR

    EMDR Therapy


    Your brain has an innate capacity to heal, but sometimes difficult experiences interrupt the process and can keep you stuck. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess trauma, stress, and deeply rooted patterns, releasing and rewiring what's been held in the mind, body, and nervous system.

  • spiritual therapist san anselmo, spiritual psychotherapist san anselmo, san anselmo transpersonal psychotherapy, spiritual therapist san anselmo

    Spiritual Therapy


    Why are we here? Why are we suffering? Spiritual therapy integrates clinical depth with the existential and spiritual dimensions of your experience, honoring that you are so much more than your diagnosis, your history, and your symptoms. This is where therapy meets something sacred.

Hi, I’m Kim Burris

Founder of The Holistic Counseling Center and a licensed therapist in San Anselmo

I believe that being human is a practice and that we all need support.

I founded this practice because I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who actually gets it: therapy that honors the intersection of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Not just effective coping strategies and tools, but the real work, getting into the old patterns, programming, and pain that still live in your body, in your heart, and helping you access the strength, courage, and connection needed to build a life that feels like yours.

Maybe you've been holding it all together for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like to actually live your life. Or maybe you've done therapy before and it helped, but it didn't quite reach the places that still need tending. I’m betting you just haven't found the right fit yet.

Our San Anselmo team brings both clinical expertise and real depth to this work. We're trained in modalities like IFS, somatic therapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting, along with breathwork, yoga, and meditation, and we go to the places often ignored in traditional therapy: the spiritual, the existential, the messy, and the sacred.

No matter what you're going through right now, I want you to know that all parts of you are welcome here. There's nothing about you or your experience that is too much, too messy, or too hard. We see you, we honor you, and we'll walk through it with you.

If you're ready to take the next step, we'd love to support you.

Experience the Benefits of In-Person Therapy in San Anselmo

Marin is inherently healing. The trails…the ocean…the redwoods…it's a place that reminds you life is beautiful even when it's hard. But even with all the beauty, sometimes you need more to truly support your healing journey. It can be hard to actually take the time you need (and want) to focus on yourself.  

Tending to yourself isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation.

When you come in for in-person therapy, you're stepping out of your routine and into a space that exists just for you. No screens, no to-do list, no one else's needs. Just you, your therapist, and the room to be honest about what's really going on. To tune in and tend to yourself so that your foundation is strong, and the future you want can actually be created. 

Our San Anselmo office was designed with that intention. A warm, calm, grounded space where your nervous system can finally settle, you can exhale deeply, and deep work can begin.

If you’ve been looking for an in-person therapist in Marin, this is your invitation: Come on in, sit down, breathe deep. We'll guide you every step of the way.
