Kristal Powell, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristal!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can heal, grow, and make the changes you need to become the best version of you!

My focus

I work with adults, teens, couples, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I specialize in trauma-informed care and enjoy helping clients build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience through evidence-based approaches.

My approach

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that empowers you to take ownership of your story. Together, we create a safe space to explore, learn, and grow. Drawing from EMDR, DBT, CBT, and many other therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals to support meaningful, lasting change.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I bring a supportive and non-judgmental energy to every session, creating a space where honesty and vulnerability can safely exist. I believe that understanding and connection are the foundations of healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help others find healing, hope, and self-understanding after pain. My own journey taught me the power of empathy, growth, and resilience. I’m driven by seeing clients discover their strength, rewrite their stories, and experience real, lasting change.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to create clear, realistic goals that align with their values and vision for change. We break goals into manageable steps and regularly review progress together, allowing flexibility and growth while celebrating each success along the way.

Our first session

In our first session, expect less “therapy interrogation” and more real conversation. We’ll talk about what brings you here, what you hope to change, and what makes you, you. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.
