As a clinician with over fifteen years of experience in diverse cities, there is no "one approach" to therapy; the process is individual and directed by your needs. My philosophical belief is that therapy is a place where you can reflect on how best to navigate your life. With you guiding, we work together to better relationships, improve communication, and move through transitions. I treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, work/life management, major life transitions, and trauma. Central to successful therapy is making sure that we have a "goodness of fit" between therapist and client.

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.

The treatment of complex histories of trauma, eating disorders, and attachment disruptions must include interventions that rewire the brain from the bottom up, somatic movement to reintegrate the body with the brain, and a felt sense of safety, in the context of relationship. This provides lasting change for improved regulation, mood, energy, the ability to be present and attune to others. Too many therapies focus on decision making, problem solving, or changing your thoughts. This is not how we are wired to work. It leads to disappointment. My evidenced based interventions promise to be different.
