Kristine Ibrahimi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristine!

I'm dedicated to fostering a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental space where you can navigate life's challenges, gain deeper self-understanding, and become the best version of yourself. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

My focus

I'm passionate about guiding individuals toward self-discovery, resilience, and enhanced life satisfaction. I've worked with diverse age groups, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I provide individual therapy to adults, most often addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach

I offer a person-centered approach, collaborating with you to meet your needs and goals. I have extensive experience with trauma survivors and utilize EMDR to treat various symptoms. I also implement principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My communication style

I'm dedicated to offering a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable talking to me about anything. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to work in a helping profession has been a lifelong aspiration. I developed a passion for comprehending human nature, exploring thought processes, the influence of the past on the present, and assisting people in applying this knowledge to enhance their lives.

My goals for you

My approach to goal-setting involves working together to define what you would like to achieve during our sessions. This typically begins with building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. As we progress, we'll collaborate to set your goals and monitor your progress.

Our first session

During the first session, you'll share what brought you to therapy, discuss what you'd like to get out of our time together, and ask questions. The session typically consists of answering background questions, during which I'll work to understand you and how I can best support you moving forward.
