Are you a business leader, executive or health care professional who's feeling stuck in repeating patterns? I specialize in empowering busy professionals like you. I offer discrete services and I do NOT bill insurance: Ensuring complete privacy and confidentiality. As an AAMFT Clinical Fellow and Founder Emeritus of one the PacNW's largest mental health practices, I will focus on helping you uncover ways to create meaningful change at both home and at work. I take a compassionate, yet direct and results-oriented approach to treating anxiety and relationship issues impacting you at home, work, and in every facet of your life.

Are you in search of support to gain self-awareness, navigate challenging emotions and experiences, enhance coping strategies, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships? Welcome! I'm Kristine San Mateo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California, Hawaii, and Washington State. Since 2015, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, addressing a multitude of mental health concerns that impact their overall well-being. Although I have experience working with children, teenagers, and families, my current focus is providing individual and couples therapy primarily to adults.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed by anxious thoughts or fears? I want to assure you that you are not alone in this journey. Together, we can explore ways to tackle these challenging emotions and work towards a sense of relief and empowerment. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their unique experiences and build genuine connections. Whatever challenges you may be facing, I am here to guide you towards a more empowering and authentic life.

As your therapist, my goal is to be an ally and collaborate with you to help you find balance in an otherwise chaotic world. One of my first priorities when working with a new client is to hear their story. Through that, I strive to empower you so that you can live the life you want and deserve. I will help you go inward and make sustainable changes so that you grow into the best version of yourself. I see clients as a whole person with many functioning parts/roles making up who they are and how they see the world.

I find people are far more capable and resilient than they realize. My approach to therapy is collaborative, eclectic and person-centered. Whether the challenge stems from anxiety, depression, trauma or conflict within your relationship, skills can be learned to navigate your life circumstance. Relationships make up the core of who we are as human beings and effort is needed to learn skills to communicate, have healthier conflict resolution or restructure a relationship to fit our needs (with others and self).

We seek out therapy when we are looking for a change. It might be that coping which once worked no longer does, that there is a new stressor in our life, or that an old wound is still impacting us. Therapy can be helpful in getting unstuck when we are struggling to envision the next step forward. As a trauma-informed therapist, I approach my work with the belief that compassion, trust, and authenticity are fundamental for positive change. I view therapy as a collaborative process, one where therapist and client work together to determine goals, identify needs, and outline a path forward.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity issues can rob you of a fulfilling life. Ready for change? Open to sharing your thoughts and feelings? In a nonjudgmental space, I offer practical solutions to manage emotions and reduce stress. Improving your mental health, personal growth, better relationships, and a richer life are possible. I'll empower you to realize your potential and support your journey to meaningful connections and self-fulfillment. If you're ready for self-discovery and healing, I'm here to guide and support you on your path to a more balanced life.

Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious with your current situation or recent life transition? Maybe you feel like life is an uphill battle. Well, I am here to help. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Vancouver, Washington. My approach to counseling is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental, and comfortable space to explore what you would like your life to look like and how we can get you moving in that direction.

I am glad you are here. Taking the step toward healing is very brave and courageous. If you are experiencing a hardship, feeling stuck, or just not yourself, then I would love to meet with you and see if I could be the right therapist for you.

This may not be the time or place you thought or wanted to be in your life right now, and that can be a sad, frustrating and heartbreaking reality. In that reality, you need someone who can listen, understand and help you sift through the problems of a sexual/porn compulsion/addiction and/or the betrayal trauma from the reveal of your partner’s hidden sexual life, and I offer that service. I've worked for the past 8 years with men in their recovery from active sex/porn addiction, and for the past 5 years I've been working with partners/spouses who've been traumatized by such hidden behavior, and its relational damage.

Do you constantly feel like you’re slightly out of sync with most people? Maybe you frequently take things too literally. Maybe you constantly make movie reference quotes, but no one ever knows what you’re talking about. You shut down when you’re overwhelmed and you’ve been told that means you have depression—but you aren’t quite sure that’s right. One minute you’re in control of your emotions, and the next minute you’re lashing out at others. You don’t understand why you’re so overwhelmed this time, when you have previously handled situations like this with ease? Do you find yourself often anxious and avoidant of people and places?

Suffering with emotional pain can leave us feeling disoriented and miserable in the present, and discouraged and afraid about the future. Yet we all have an innate impulse to survive, heal, and recover. You're heeding that impulse right now—all we need to begin your journey of healing is for you to keep heeding it. We'll discover the rest together, one step at a time. Imagine getting to know new parts of yourself and giving them the attention they’ve been yearning for. Hopping out of bed in the morning feeling whole, healthy, and positive. Meeting life’s difficulties with skill and finesse instead of brute force.

By being present with my clients' suffering, I help them to achieve both acceptance and change. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and that the path to happiness requires honesty, kindness, and compassion for both self and others. My style is interactive and collaborative with an emphasis on making changes via concrete, specific plans of action. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My understanding of the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship is grounded in attachment theory. I especially enjoy working with issues of identity and differentness.

Accepting New Clients! For years I wondered why I struggled with focusing, poor memory, high energy, listening, deadlines, or remembering to eat. It was only after I was diagnosed with ADHD before I realized "hey, I am not making this up," or "I am not dumb- I learn differently." Attempts to meet the expectations of a neurotypical society creates a harmful cycle where we feel it is relentless and never ending. Past life experiences can and still haunt us, as society continues to "inform" us of what "normal" looks like. Trying to mask who we are daily is exhausting and painful, and only breeds more pain and internal hurt.

It is not that things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult -Seneca. If you have the desire to change your life for the better, then I would like to work with you to achieve it. The journey to recovery is not easy, but easier with help. I hope to build trust and resilience in the people I work with so that they can reach their full potential in life. No matter where you are at the moment, with persistence, commitment and patience, anything is possible.

We all want to feel better & have thriving relationships, but our life experiences have a direct impact on that. Whether you're an individual with unresolved trauma, a first responder whose job is affecting their personal life, or a couple struggling to communicate or with infidelity, for example. Conflict & residual trauma can cause a loss of connection over time with those we love. And trauma left untreated can cause heightened reactions, like anger or fear, or the opposite - emotional detachment. You may notice feeling sad or irritable, have nightmares, or struggle with trust. The effects are different for each person.

As a couple, family, & individual therapist, I honor the importance of our inherent human need to be in fulfilling connection with others and ourselves. And I recognize how difficult this can sometimes be. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by the level of conflict in your day-to-day family interactions, going through a major life transition, or seeking individual therapy to explore how past hurt and current challenges are constraining you from more fully inhabiting your life, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth. I offer a free consultation to explore our possible work together.
