When Kimberly Silva joined MCHC in 2025, she brought with her more than 40 years of professional experience in psychiatric and mental health care. Kim’s board certification in both family medicine and psychiatric mental health means she can provide primary care and routine check-ups as well as assess, diagnose, and treat medical and mental health conditions and prescribe medication when appropriate.
Her dual scope of practice enables her to care for patients with coexisting physical and mental health needs during the same visit. “I think it’s good to treat the whole person and not leave out the mental health component,” she says. Patients’ life circumstances influence all aspects of their well-being, whether they’re coping with wildfires or COVID, living with physical ailments or mental health diagnoses, or managing everyday stressors like job loss, relationship problems, or food insecurity.
As she works with patients, Kim focuses on meeting them where they are and learning about their lives. She sees a two-way relationship as essential to providing effective care. Her goal, she says, is to focus on helping patients work toward sustainable well-being, whatever that looks like for them.
Kim appreciates being able to care for the people within her community. She is a firm believer that serving underserved and disadvantaged populations strengthens the whole community. “It makes everyone better,” she says.
Outside of work, Kim likes to hike and walk. Formerly a member of a band, she still plays the drums every day. She also enjoys spending peaceful time at home, often with her two cats.
