About Kimberley

Kimberley Clayton Blaine, LMFT is a licensed clinical family therapist, nationally recognized child mental health expert, and early pioneer in digital parent education and online therapeutic services. Practicing since 1998, she is known for bridging clinical depth with accessible, large-scale impact across families, schools, and public systems.

Practicing since 1998 | Laguna Beach, California 

Kimberley Clayton Blaine, LMFT, is a nationally sought-after positive psychology and transformation leader and licensed clinical therapist trusted by individuals and families ready to move beyond how they’ve been living into something markedly better. Her work is
not about coping or insight alone, it’s about expanding a person’s capacity to experience life in a more deliberate, grounded, and deeply fulfilling way than they believed was available to them.

 

Kimberley is the author of 8 books, including an award-winning title and a #1 best-selling parenting book in China…an uncommon level of global reach that reflects the practical impact and universality of her work.
 

She is the creator of 30 Million Moments of Bliss, a direct, moment-by-moment roadmap for people who are done living on autopilot. Known for its clarity and precision, the work shows readers exactly how to shift out of the patterns that keep them stuck and into a way
of living that feels markedly different, often beyond what they thought was possible. 
Described by many as a “mental health survival manual,” it doesn’t just offer insight—it changes how people experience their lives, one moment at a time.
 

She is the founder of The Misunderstood Child, a California-based clinical practice and consulting platform known for its rare, fully integrated whole-family model of care. Rather than isolating the child or the parent, Kimberley’s work addresses the entire
system—delivering coordinated, high-touch support across the child, parent, school, and broader environment. She specializes in complex, neurodiverse presentations, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, OCD, Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS), and
high-acuity emotional and behavioral profiles. Her approach combines clinical precision with real-world application, making her trusted by families when standard care has failed.

 

Long before parenting advice became an industry, Kimberley was among the first to bring evidence-based guidance into the digital space at scale. Her Disney- and Sony-backed platforms, TheGoToMom.TV and Mommy2Mommy.TV, reached a national audience and
helped define how modern parenting education is delivered. She was named one of the most powerful moms in social media by Working Mother Magazine, recognizing her early influence in shaping accessible, trusted parenting content.

 

Her expertise has been sought by global brands and institutions—including Disney, LEGO Duplo, DreamWorks, Sony, 3M, Sleep Number, and KinderCare—where she has translated complex child development and mental health concepts into clear, actionable guidance for
families at scale.


Kimberley has taught Early Childhood Brain Development and Positive Discipline at UCLA Extension and has served as a consultant to organizations including the Children’s Center at Caltech and the Pasadena Office of the Young Child. For over two decades, she has led large-scale early childhood mental health initiatives supported by federal and state agencies, helping bridge the gap between clinical research and real-world application in diverse communities.
 

Her dedication to early childhood education is a defining part of her work and identity. Through her Clayton-Blaine Scholarship for Preschool Teachers at San Diego State University, she actively champions and elevates the next generation of educators—honoring the field that shaped her and extending its impact to children and families for years to come.


Based in Southern California, Kimberley works with individuals, families, and organizations who are done circling the problem—and ready to change how they live.
