Getting to know Krista Schoenbaum

Hi there, I'm Krista! My name is Krista Schoenbaum, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California. I have a passion for working with children and their caregivers. I specialize in stress reduction, coping with change, and building social-emotional skills, as well as anxiety, depression, and grief. My approach I seek to meet you where you are and build safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship. I see my clients through a client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed lens. As needed, I will also use cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, and expressive arts therapy. My focus My background in school-based therapy has allowed me to work with a diverse group of clients. The clients I see are often coping with stressors like loss, divorce, family physical or mental illness, ADHD, community violence, and school pressures. I have also worked with parents to help them talk to their children about feelings and how to take care of themselves in this process. My communication style My communication style is calm, warm, and compassionate. My primary goal is to build trust and emotional safety so that you can feel comfortable sharing your feelings and experiences. If this is your first time in therapy, it may not feel natural, and that's ok! I will ask questions to understand you and your life, but they will never come with judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist has not been linear. While I loved the arts and experienced my own healing through performing as a teen, I found myself in administrative work as an adult. It took many years to realize that supporting people through creativity and play most fulfills me. What keeps me going is finding the children who are often overlooked, who may not be the ones who are referred to counseling but are struggling anyway. If I can create a safe space for them to express themselves and, most importantly, be themselves, that is a win.
