Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Dr. Kiley Dunne Lizama is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Yoga Teacher in San Diego, California. Kiley began her work in Adolescent Mental Health as an Educationally Related Mental Health Clinician for Carlsbad and Vista Unified School Districts. During her time as an ERMHS therapist, she began to see patterns in children with significant trauma histories being diagnosed with developmental and emotional disabilities at school. From there, she moved into working more directly with youth experiencing trauma, more specifically Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Human Trafficking. In 2015, she began working at San Diego Youth Services supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking. In 2017, Kiley was promoted to a Program Manager, and with the help of the STARS program and funding from Child Welfare and Behavioral Health services, she was able to start the San Diego Youth Services I CARE program, a Medi-Cal funded Mental Health Clinic and Drop-in Center for youth at risk or currently involved in Commercial Sexual Exploitation.

Kiley has extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, as well as Sexual Exploitation. Connecting mind and body, she utilizes her training as a yoga teacher combined with modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide survivors with a holistic whole-person approach to treatment.
