Kristina Reynosa, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristina!

I'm deeply committed to guiding you toward developing essential therapeutic skills. My work focuses on fostering safe internal environments, cultivating self-compassion, and nurturing caring relationships that support your quest for an authentic self and full self-expression.

My focus

I work extensively with individuals, couples, and families grappling with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ineffective boundaries, lack of motivation, anger dyscontrol, intimacy concerns, attachment wounds, co-occurring mental health concerns, addiction, and stressors related to life transitions.

My approach

I place significant value on establishing a genuine connection with each person I work with. Approaching from sincere curiosity, I explore your unique strengths and the specific pain points from which you seek to heal and grow. I particularly enjoy empowering you to expand your personal toolbox as you acquire new skills for emotion regulation.

My communication style

I cherish the opportunity to meet you precisely where you are on your healing journey, offering a compassionate, trauma and attachment lens approach. I place significant value on establishing a genuine connection with each person I work with.

My journey to mental healthcare

I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I seamlessly incorporate mindfulness practices to create a truly integrative and comprehensive treatment experience.

My goals for you

I value honesty in a therapeutic approach and believe we heal in relationships, and that is exactly what therapy is about. I provide guidance and support on your goals and work collaboratively with you while focusing on your growth and strengths, and giving honest reflections.

Our first session

Our first session is dedicated to fostering a connection and getting to know you. It's important to me to collect information that will be helpful, as well as the goals you may have for yourself. I also find this the perfect opportunity to answer any questions and communicate clear expectations of therapy.
