Getting to know Kristi Tomlinson

Hi there, I'm Kristi! Hello! I'm Kristi Tomlinson, a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am passionate about helping those experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, and trauma by using somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR Therapy. From my experience, I believe people are incredibly resilient with the proper support, tools, and healing. My approach My style as a therapist combines several therapeutic approaches, including somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy, so that people learn how to release and heal their symptoms, develop more helpful thoughts and behaviors, and understand what contributed to their symptoms in the first place. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, a modality that helps reprocess the fight/flight responses tied to stressful and traumatic experiences and memories. I use EMDR Therapy to treat anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD. I also enjoy helping people gain confidence in setting boundaries and improving interpersonal communication. My focus I work with adults seeking help for anxiety and trauma. This includes generalized anxiety disorder, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, panic disorder, and trauma/PTSD. Trauma is more complex than often assumed— it can include overwhelming periods in life when coping feels impossible, negative childhood experiences, and situations where we lose trust or faith in ourselves or the world. My communication style I am compassionate and direct. I strive to make each unique person feel heard, seen, and understood with open-mindedness and empathy while also being honest about how people can improve their symptoms. I enjoy digging deep to understand each individual as a whole person. I incorporate lightheartedness and humor when appropriate to make therapy a more pleasant experience overall.
