Helping You Understand What Matters Most
Therapy, Assessment, and Consultation for Children, Teens, Adults, and Families
Grounded in evidence. Centered on people.
Care that sees the whole person.
Emotions, behavior, learning, relationships, and development are often deeply connected.
Through therapy, psychological assessment, and consultation, we look at how those pieces fit together so care is shaped around the person, not just a symptom, diagnosis, or concern.
Our Approach
How We Help
01. We Look Beneath the Surface
What shows up on the surface is only part of the story.
We look at patterns, relationships, strengths, context, and underlying needs to better understand what may be shaping what’s happening and what might help.
02. We Build Genuine Connection
Good work begins with trust.
Through warmth, curiosity, and respect, we create space for people to feel comfortable being themselves. That trust makes it easier to communicate openly, strengthen relationships, and engage in meaningful work together.
03. We Put Insight into Practice
Understanding is most useful when it helps make everyday life feel more manageable.
Together, we turn what we learn into thoughtful, practical strategies that reflect your goals, values, circumstances, and strengths.
At River House Psychology, we believe people are inherently resilient and capable of growth, healing, and thriving.

Areas of Focus
-
ADHD and executive functioning differences can show up in attention, organization, time management, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and everyday routines. We take a strengths-based approach to understanding how a person’s brain works and finding support and strategies that fit.
-
Giftedness can bring exceptional strengths alongside intensity, perfectionism, uneven development, or learning and emotional needs. For twice-exceptional individuals, strengths can sometimes mask challenges, and challenges can overshadow strengths. We help bring the full picture into view.
-
When ability and academic performance don’t seem to match, it can be difficult to know why. Learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia can affect reading, writing, or math despite strong effort and ability. We help clarify how someone learns and what support may help.
-
Worry, fear of mistakes, a need for certainty, avoidance, or repetitive thoughts and routines can begin to take up too much space in everyday life. We help people understand these patterns, build greater flexibility, and develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty, achievement, and themselves.
-
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It may show up as irritability, withdrawal, low motivation, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from people and activities that once mattered. Therapy can help make sense of these changes, strengthen coping, and reconnect with what feels meaningful.
-
Big emotions, power struggles, changing family dynamics, or uncertainty about how to respond can leave even thoughtful parents feeling stuck. We help families look beneath behavior, strengthen communication and connection, and find approaches that balance warmth, guidance, and healthy boundaries.
-
IEPs, 504 Plans, evaluations, accommodations, tutoring, and school placement can be difficult to navigate without a clear understanding of the options. Drawing on both psychology and education, Dr. Kim helps families make informed decisions, prepare for school conversations, and advocate collaboratively for their child.
When You Need Answers, Assessment Can Bring Clarity
Sometimes the most important question isn’t “What should we do?” but “What’s really going on?”
Psychological assessment helps us understand the whole picture: how someone learns, thinks, pays attention, manages emotions, and experiences the world.
Whether questions involve ADHD, giftedness, learning differences, development, emotional well-being, or behavior, assessment can uncover patterns, identify strengths and challenges, and bring greater clarity to what’s happening.
Areas of assessment include:
Neurodiversity, including ADHD, giftedness, and twice-exceptionality
Learning disorders, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia
School admissions
Mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression
Diagnostic clarification
Assessment should go beyond a diagnosis. It should help you understand the person behind the results and what comes next.
Support for Children, Families, & Schools
Where Psychology and Education Come Together
A child’s learning, emotions, behavior, and relationships don’t stop at the classroom door. What happens at school can shape life at home, and experiences at home can influence the school day.
With experience in both education and psychology, Dr. Kim helps families connect these two worlds. She can help identify patterns across settings, understand what a child may need, collaborate with schools, and develop support that makes sense at home and in the classroom.
Support may include:
Individual and parent-child therapy (dyadic therapy)
Parent coaching and consultation
ADHD, giftedness, and twice-exceptionality
Learning differences and school-related concerns
Psychological assessment
School consultation and collaboration
About River House Psychology

That background brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective to her work. Dr. Kim approaches each person with curiosity and respect, taking time to understand their individual strengths, experiences, and needs.
Today, River House provides therapy, psychological assessment, and consultation for children, teens, adults, and families in Centennial and throughout the Denver metro area, bringing clinical expertise together with care that feels personal, collaborative, and practical.
