Kristen Sanders
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Southern California. I received my Doctor of Psychology degree at the California School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing for 4 years.
I strive to help adults across the lifespan address psychological concerns in a person-centered, holistic manner that incorporates all unique factors of one’s experience, including health, culture, and identity.

First session
During our first 1-2 sessions we will spend some time getting to know one another. I may ask you to tell me about your history and any thoughts/feelings that have brought you to therapy. We may also begin to explore general goals to work towards during our time together.
Strengths
I have worked in many settings (i.e., Community Mental Health, Medical Center, Inpatient) that have allowed for the development of a variety of techniques that can help with a range a psychological symptoms. My approach to mental health is rooted in empathy and empowerment, allowing clients the space to explore and practice skills that provide long term relief.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who have a desire to work towards a general sense of well-being. This can include those interested in managing mood symptoms, stress, health conditions, or difficulty adjusting to a new life situation.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I utilize an integrative, person-centered approach that draws from multiple evidence-based treatments and practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also apply motivational and solution-focused principles, and have received specialized training in Mindfulness. My area of speciality is Health Psychology, which aids in addressing psychological factors associated with health and illness.
