Getting to know Dr. Kristen Freeman

My name is Dr. Kristen Freeman, EdD, LMFT, and I enjoy working with clients of diverse backgrounds—BIPOC and LGBTQ+ affirming—who are facing depression, anxiety, grief, career, education, relationship challenges, and life transitions.I My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, compassionate, and holistic. I believe that healing begins with self-acceptance and self-care. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles so you can gain insight and lasting change from a place of understanding and balance. I work with teens, adults, and couples, experiencing anxiety, depression, and those seeking to heal past trauma in a safe, supportive environment. Together, we explore old patterns and develop new ways of being. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming, fostering greater self-understanding, satisfaction, and peace. I use evidence-based, trauma-informed care and draw from integrative, client-centered approaches to support your goals. As an EMDR-trained and insight-based therapist, certified Life and Career Coach, and mindfulness meditation practitioner, I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can heal, grow, and build a life aligned with your values and strengths. I hold a doctorate in education from the University of Southern California and a master’s in counseling psychology from Santa Clara University. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about bridging theory and practice to foster growth, insight, and meaningful transformation in both clinical work and education.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming space where we begin getting to know each other. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to learn about you, and you'll have the chance to ask yours too. Clients often tell me they feel affirmed, comfortable, and heard—sometimes even surprised by how natural it feels. I go at your pace, and I believe trust and connection are the foundation of meaningful work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Being in therapy with me is an affirming and collaborative process. Clients often say I’m easy to talk to and feel safe opening up. Together, we explore your emotional world with care and curiosity, building trust through deep listening and thoughtful feedback. I help you notice patterns, connect mind and body awareness, and integrate mindfulness or spirituality when it feels right for you. Sessions are typically 50+ minutes, with a longer 60+ minute intake. I use a HIPAA-compliant video platform and a secure billing site to ensure your privacy and ease. You don’t have to do this alone.
