Getting to know Kristin Howard
Hi, I'm Kristin Howard, an LA native who loves traveling, music, yoga, photography, dancing, and hiking. I began my journey toward becoming a therapist 16 years ago and earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I’ve gained experience working for a suicide hotline, completing my traineeship at a high school, and supporting children, adolescents, and adults in community mental health. I’ve also worked with emerging adults at private universities and in a group private practice. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals facing relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and identity or cultural concerns. What I love most about being a therapist is the privilege of connecting with some of the most incredible human beings and providing them a safe space to process any life challenges they’re facing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients that I work with can expect to gain insight into unhelpful thought patterns that might be contributing to feelings of depression or anxiety, how to set appopriate boundaries to ensure there's a consistent focus on your overall wellness, and to be able to show yourself more grace with the inevitable up's and down's of life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
