Getting to know Kristen Telon
Hi, I'm Kristen Telon, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from California Baptist University. I am a huge advocate for early intervention and believe in looking into childhood for answers to issues in adulthood. I am very passionate about being a therapist and supporting my clients by being there for them throughout their journey.
My approach
My approach to therapy is client-centered because I want to tailor my methods to each client’s unique situation. My favorite therapy modalities include CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, Family Systems, and EFT.
My focus
I have worked with children, teens, families, adults, veterans, parents, couples, and more. I address a wide variety of issues including addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, relationship distress, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, OCD, ADHD, and more.
My communication style
Most importantly, I am devoted to helping you heal by providing a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment to help you achieve success and enjoy life! When you’re talking to me, you’ll feel free to be yourself and know that I’ll never judge you for anything you say.
My journey to therapy
I became a therapist because of my own mental health journey and experiences from childhood. I healed so much through therapy, and I am here to protect you, help you heal, ensure you don’t feel alone, and ease your pain.
My goals for you
I always set goals based on my client’s needs and wants for their journey in therapy.
My first session with you
In your first session, just be yourself and know that I am excited to meet you and help you. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready—you can take it slow or let it all out.
