Dan Kimball, MC LPC - Founder - Path4Change PLLC
Hello, and welcome! I'm Dan Kimball, a licensed professional counselor, an ambassador of the Heroic coaching program, and the founder of Path4Change. My practice is dedicated to assisting you on your journey of self-discovery and helping you unlock your heroic potential.
At Path4Change, I am proud to offer a diverse range of services that cater to the unique needs and experiences of each person we work with. From professional counseling and coaching to holistic practices, I provide a comprehensive approach to personal growth and wellbeing.
Professional Counseling
In our counseling sessions, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can openly explore your challenges and work towards meaningful solutions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring that the techniques and tools we provide have been proven to be effective in supporting personal development and transformation.
Heroic Coaching
My coaching approach draws from the science of positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and behavioral science. Rather than fixing what's wrong, I focus on what is right, using the VIA Strengths Assessment. By leveraging your inherent strengths and abilities and aligning them with your goals, you can overcome obstacles, achieve personal milestones, and lead a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.
My Approach
In my practice, I take a holistic view of mental health and wellness, focusing on integrating your mind, body, and spirit. Guided by this belief, I often blend practices such as Mindfulness, Meditation, Reiki, Qigong, and Tai Chi as part of my services. Through these practices, you can regain balance, reduce stress, and increase you energetic and spiritual awareness.
About Me
Over the course of my career, I've had the unique privilege of guiding individuals through life's many challenges, while helping them to unlock their innate strengths and abilities. This lifelong dedication led to the creation of a distinctive 4-Step Model of Change, known as ARIA, which stands for Awareness, Resilience, Inspiration, and Action. ARIA serves as a roadmap for our services, outlining effective, evidence-based tools and strategies for each phase of your wellness journey.
Certifications
I hold several certifications, showcasing my commitment to providing a broad spectrum of services to my clients. These include being a Certified Progressive Recovery Coach (2015), Level II certified Gottman Method Couples Counselor (2017), a Certified Prepare/Enrich Premarital Coach (2018), and a Certified Heroic Coach (2019). These qualifications equip me to offer structured support to those on recovery journeys, help couples build strong relationships, and provide comprehensive guidance to individuals striving to optimize their overall well-being.
As part of my dedication to holistic health, I practice and teach tai chi, qigong, and mindfulness. I earned the Black Belt Certification as a Tai Chi Instructor in 2020. In 2023, I obtained the Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki Level II Practitioner certification, to provide high-quality Reiki therapy and affirm my dedication to integrating energy work for holistic healing. I am also a Heroic Ambassador for the Heroic Public Benefit Corporation (2023), part of a transformative social training platform committed to enabling 51% of humanity to thrive by 2051.
Why Work with Me

Results-Oriented: I look for real-world actionable results. I developed my Path4Change model to synthesize the current knowledge of change theories to ensure I have the most cutting-edge strategies that produce meaningful changes.
Walking the Talk: I practice self-development daily. This brings me the greatest joy, seeing amazing results in my own life and constantly improving the Path4Change model.

Free Consultation
You may have a few questions about how I can help. For this reason, I offer prospective clients a free 30-minute phone or webcam consultation. This will give us the opportunity to get acquainted and is a great way to make sure that you get the service that is right for you.
At the beginning of the call I will introduce myself, provide you with some background information about my qualifications, services, training and fees. I will also use the time to learn more about you, and to make sure your goals match my abilities and areas of specialization. I will ask you just enough information to determine if we can work together. After our introductory conversation, you should have a sense of my personality, style and approach - and a general idea of the course of action you may wish to pursue. I should have a preliminary idea of your problem or goal, along with a sense of your personality, strengths, and learning style. Each of us should have a firm idea of what’s going to happen next, even if you choose not to work with me.
If you do decide to work with me, you will have the option to set up another appointment. I will then provide you a welcome packet that contains information related to informed consent, confidentiality, and the online and in-office policies.
