Kristen Tachiki, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristen!

I'm honored to walk this path with you. My work centers on helping people who already hold their own solutions but need support uncovering them. I look forward to taking this journey together.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating addiction, anxiety, aging, chronic illness, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, substance use, and women's issues.

My approach

I use mindfulness, art therapy, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. My approach is holistic, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your unique needs. Together we'll tap into your strengths and develop practical strategies for meaningful change.

My communication style

My style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I create a safe space where you feel heard and understood. Through collaboration, we'll identify your strengths, set goals, and build practical strategies to improve your well-being and quality of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career is driven by a deep desire to help others overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead more fulfilling lives. I'm committed to ongoing learning to provide the best care possible.

My goals for you

I empower you with self-awareness, coping skills, and tools to navigate life's ups and downs with greater ease and confidence. Whether addressing a specific issue or seeking personal growth, I'll meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.

Our first session

We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and develop a shared understanding of your situation, needs, and objectives. You'll get a sense of my style and can ask questions about the process. We'll collaboratively establish goals and a treatment plan tailored to your concerns.
