Kristine DeWitt, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristine!

I enjoy helping clients discover their unique strengths and gifts to improve mental health. My practice focuses on adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and parenting difficulties.

My focus

I work primarily with adults experiencing mild to moderate symptoms and life difficulties. I am experienced in integrating Christian faith and principles when appropriate for those who would like to use their spirituality in therapy.

My approach

I provide a safe and compassionate space to explore your thoughts and emotions, gain valuable insights, and develop tools to navigate life's complexities. I use a warm and casual approach to teach CBT, DBT, and other mindfulness-based skills.

My communication style

Past clients have described me as warm, welcoming, and casual. My sessions are conversational and at times instructive when needed. I use humor and storytelling when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I felt the call to be a therapist after seeing how positive transformation can take place when seeking help from a professional. I was excited by the idea of coming alongside others to help facilitate hope and healing.

My goals for you

I understand that not all life problems can be solved in brief therapy, so it is important to assist clients in identifying 2-3 symptoms to learn to manage.

Our first session

During the first session, I will aim to learn relevant history and current symptoms. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about me and my experience. Together, we will identify 1-3 goals for treatment.
