Kerreen M Chau
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
San Clemente, CA 92672
I treat individuals, couples and adolescents. I specialize in couple therapy and work on issues of communication, affairs, intimacy, relationship building and divorce transition. People often believe that they are more independent than they truly are on others, less connected and affected by the people in their lives. However, research shows the opposite. It also helps to learn about our emotions. Emotions often are automatic especially when anxiety and stress is high. My work looks at affective neuroscience which integrates the scientific research of brain function and emotions that drive behavior, focus and our relationships with others."

Life can feel overwhelming, even when you look like you're holding it all together. Maybe you're carrying anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship struggles, grief, or a quiet feeling that you're never quite enough. Or perhaps you've spent so much of your life caring for everyone else that you've lost touch with your own needs. You don't have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, take a deep breath, and begin finding your way back to yourself. My hope is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood as we work toward healing together.

I would love to offer you tools to become an active agent in bettering your life and mental health. Are you enduring grief alone? Are you a first responder or soldier who has suffered trauma? Then I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these emotions. My lived life experience includes being a Firefighter/Paramedic for 16 years in a very busy, very diverse, metropolitan department. I am very familiar with first responders and their struggles and would like to offer the opportunity to de-stigmatize mental health for firefighters, police officers and soldiers.
