Kristal Struble, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristal!

I provide a safe place for processing trauma, relationship struggles, and anxiety. I take a client-centered approach to help you find better understanding and bring awareness to your mind and body towards restoration.

My focus

I work with older teens and adults seeking peace from anxiety and childhood suffering that are comorbid with complex trauma. My clients are looking for relief from their struggles and a path toward healing.

My approach

I approach therapy with nonjudgment and genuine care. Because each client has different needs, my therapeutic interventions are specific to you. I believe in taking care of the physical body while addressing unwanted emotions or thoughts, which may include somatic practice.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and positive, and I always listen to understand better. I will ask questions to provide clients with a different way of understanding or give analogies to help make sense of things. If appropriate, I try to incorporate laughter as it is also healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after seeing the high need for mental health support for both first responders and the public. Observing hurt and systemic flaws encouraged me to be a different kind of help for the community. I believe in caring for everyone, and it gives me joy to see people find hope and clarity.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals starts with why you are seeking therapy. From there, we discuss what it would be like when therapy is finished and the process it will take to get there. I provide a space where you have confidence and trust in me to help you reach your goals.

Our first session

In the first session, you can expect to talk about the history of what brought you to therapy. I give the first and second appointments time for you to ask questions. This is a time when I am hoping to build trust and connection so that our work together progresses healing.
