Kristin Beech, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kristin!

I am an LCSW licensed by the state of California. I use Christian Counseling, Mindfulness, CBT, and Bereavement Counseling to support solution-oriented conversations.

My focus

I work well with adults and couples dealing with heavy emotions, confusion, anxiety, depression, grief, aging, and ADHD.

My approach

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.

My communication style

I offer a safe environment and utilize skills that support healing, empowerment, and vibrant thriving.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I was struggling with my past trauma, depression, and anxiety. I eventually found a therapist who assisted me on my own healing journey. I became a trauma-informed therapist to assist clients in the healing process and move clients from victim to victory.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is through collaboration with clients based on clients' needs and evidence-based practice.

Our first session

In the first session with me, clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment. To discuss their reasons for seeking therapy, to understand my background and skills, and to set treatment goals.
