Kim Chilvers
Kimberly Chilvers, MA/MFT, Program Director
Kim Chilvers not only oversees management of our group homes and emergency shelters, supervising our residential Clinical Supervisors and Clinical Directors, but is responsible for development of our Therapeutic Behavioral Services Program, our Family Foster Care Program and our AfterCare Program, while she maintains direct client contact with a small caseload of residential and community based psychotherapy clients. Her specialized post-graduate training has focused on effects of trauma and disorders in children and youth, as well as clinical supervision, including legal and ethical issues. In addition to her years in private practice and clinical work in various individual, group and community therapy settings, prior to her work with Youth Homes, Kim served as Community Outreach Administrator for Homeless Children’s Network in San Francisco, was a Program Coordinator for Women’s Crisis Shelter in Santa Cruz, and served on the board of Dolores Street Community Services. She brings to Youth Homes unparalleled skills and experience not only in clinical supervision, but in direct care and counseling of abused, homeless and severely traumatized youth.
