Kristina Hieb, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristina!

I have been in the mental health field for roughly two decades and love working with people. I look forward to being a part of your journey and helping you make the adjustments you would like to make in your life!

My focus

I enjoy working with adults who need help with processing traumas, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and Schizophrenia. I love supporting all walks of life, including former/current athletes and the LGBTQIA+ community.

My approach

My approach to therapy is strength-based and geared to your individual needs. I use a diverse approach, looking at the systems that inform your emotional makeup, your patterns of response, strength, and the ways your life experiences can impact the present.

My communication style

I always want to ensure that you have a safe, comfortable place to express yourself without judgment. I communicate in a caring and clear manner. I love to smile and add humor to sessions when appropriate to ensure comfort and authenticity.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I always wanted to positively impact others' lives. I was drawn to therapy when I saw people needing someone to talk to and find support to navigate their lives and challenges. I love helping people find their strengths and witnessing their reliance on achieving their best quality of life.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals is collaboration. We discuss the most important goals you would like to work on and adjust based on progress in treatment.

Our first session

During the first session, you can expect a welcoming environment where we focus on getting to know each other. I create an open space for you to share what may have brought you to therapy and collaboratively address what you would like to work on.
