Kristen Smith, AMFT
Registered Associate Marrige & Family Therapist
It is my belief that all of us possess an innate capacity for healing and inner transformation. I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to explore the inner callings of your soul.
As a Pacifica Graduate Institute graduate, my orientation is one that explores my client's deeper patterns, which often are carried along through time, but create complexes that make life harder to navigate. I help to identify and process those with you.
I meet with individuals, couples, and families, and I am particularly passionate about supporting adolescents and young adults as they find their way in the world and explore who they long to become.
I view therapy as a highly relational and collaborative process as we embark on a journey back to discovering your whole Self.

Humans heal through relationship. We were never meant to carry life’s suffering or beauty alone. Healing happens when we are truly seen and supported, creating the safety to become more fully ourselves.
My approach is present-centered, helping clients notice the thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and relationship patterns that shape their lives. Together, we explore what may be keeping you stuck while cultivating self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper sense of authenticity. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, loss, life transitions, or questions of identity and purpose, I strive to offer a warm, compassionate space for growth.
Before becoming a therapist, I studied creative writing, theater, and filmmaking, experiences that continue to inform my work. Outside the office, I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, backpack in the Sierra Nevada, and spend time with my dogs, Simba and Ruby.
My work is informed by Jungian depth psychology, psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and mindfulness. Above all, I am committed to understanding you as you are.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade as a working artist, exploring emotion and relationship through shape, pattern, and color. That creative path led me to pursue Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I’ve deepened my understanding of the unconscious and inner work. I also look with you to find where patterns and habits have fixated areas wanting growth.
I work with children, individuals and couples-- navigating identity, old patterns, creative blocks, emotional stuck-ness, and the desire to live more in connection with self and others. I often incorporate dreamwork, imaginal processing, and body-based awareness into our work together.
My goal is to offer a supportive, grounded space where you can explore your inner world with curiosity and care—moving toward greater clarity, meaning, self-trust--while deepening your relationships.

Abbi Saperstein
Clinician
Before entering the mental health field, I spent nearly two decades in international real estate and consulting between Los Angeles and London—an experience that shaped me and taught me the value of clear communication, supportive relationships, and the importance of having a personal resiliency system.
As a first-generation American of Middle Eastern and Eastern European descent, I bring a multicultural lens to therapy. I strive to create a safe, affirming space for individuals, couples, and families who work with me. I also believe that challenges are opportunities and through that lens I am able to support my patients in reorienting their past personal narratives by helping them value both their ruptures and repairs in relationships.
I work with grief, chronic illness, identity development, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Clinician
My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational and it is my belief that meaningful change often happens within the safety of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My work is grounded in curiosity, warmth , and respect for each client’s lived experience.
I was drawn to this work through my own experience with therapy, which shaped my belief that therapy should be accessible, human, and free from stigma.
I aim to help clients slow down and explore what may be happening beneath the surface.
I draw from person-centered, experiential, and parts-informed approaches, and I am also interested in the ways nature and mindful awareness can support healing and self-understanding.

It is a core belief of mine that we have no “bad parts”- only parts of ourselves that once had a purpose, but no longer serve us. I’m honored to stand alongside individuals who are interested in discovering and releasing old patterns, in exchange for newer, more supportive ones.
I have several years of experience working in residential and outpatient treatment programs supporting people struggling with eating disorders and substance abuse. I also had the privilege of founding a university student support group for women navigating body image challenges.
I work with teens, couples, and individuals- especially those navigating body image issues, identity development, or feelings of “being stuck.” My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space for personal exploration and growth. My approach is person-centered, drawing from modalities such as psychodynamic therapy and Internal Family Systems.

Life can feel overwhelming. With countless distractions and demands, it is easy to lose connection with ourselves and the people around us. Healing begins by reconnecting with those parts of ourselves and understanding where that disconnect first began.
My approach to therapy goes beyond treating surface level symptoms. Together, we explore the deeper "why" behind your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, creating space for lasting change rather than temporary relief.
My goal is to help each client cultivate growth, move beyond unhelpful behavioral and relational patterns, and develop a greater sense of self awareness. I value creating a therapeutic space that feels supportive and collaborative while encouraging deeper self reflection and meaningful personal growth.
I specialize in working with ADHD, generalized anxiety, and trauma. My background includes surf therapy and working with adolescents navigating healing after sexual trauma. I also welcome conversations around spirituality and faith for those who find them meaningful, supporting clients as they navigate shame, self criticism, and insecurity with compassion and curiosity.
My aim is to support clients in building self confidence, autonomy, and a stronger sense of self through authenticity, self reflection, and self acceptance.

I believe that we all have stories about ourselves that shape how we see the world, our relationships, and what we believe is possible for us. In therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore these stories, understand how past experiences influence the present, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.
My approach draws on narrative therapy, with a foundation in attachment theory, alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in special education and as an executive functioning coach, supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. These experiences continue to inform my work, particularly my interest in neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to be themselves, approach their experiences with curiosity rather than judgment, and explore what matters most to them. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel understood and supported, and I see therapy as a collaborative process of building self-understanding, recognizing existing strengths, and finding new possibilities for growth.

I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, meaningful mental health care and that we all have the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Therapy can offer a safe place to slow down, reconnect, and begin understanding ourselves in a deeper way.
My approach is integrative, allowing me to meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. As a clinician with a focus in somatic therapy, I value the connection between the mind and body and the ways our experiences shape how we feel, relate, and move through the world.
I have a special interest in working with individuals with developmental disabilities and the families who support them. My personal and professional experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the challenges families may face while navigating complex systems and advocating for the people they love.
Above all, I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and curiosity. Whether you are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, family challenges, trauma, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to navigate it alone.
