About

Mimi Kent

Hi, I’m Mimi, a licensed therapist in El Segundo, California offering in-person and online therapy for anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and relationship challenges. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like life handed you a script you never agreed to, you’re in the right place. I work with adults and teens who want to feel more grounded, connected, and at home in their own skin. My style is warm, intuitive, and collaborative. I bring real empathy, direct feedback, and a bit of levity into our sessions. Because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. Laugh, cry, say the thing you’ve never said out loud, and walk away feeling a little more like yourself again.

What you can expect

Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more self-compassionate.

Together, we’ll create space to:

Quiet the inner critic
Reconnect with your body and intuition
Set healthier boundaries (without guilt)
Untangle old patterns in relationships
Find calm in the chaos of chronic pain or anxiety

You don’t need to be “good at therapy.” You just need to show up. I’ll meet you there.
