Getting to know Stephanie Cristerna-Casillas

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! Hello! I'm Stephanie Cristerna-Casillas, a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I am dedicated to fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for clients. My goal is to assist individuals and families in building strong, meaningful, and intimate relationships. I specialize in helping those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and family conflicts. My approach I focus on fostering a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment that is compassionate and empathetic, allowing clients to feel safe, understood, and empowered. While my primary treatment approaches are rooted in Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I prioritize meeting clients where they are and tailoring therapy to their individual needs. My focus I work with individuals, families, and minors aged 13-17. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, divorce, family conflict, life transitions, mood disorders, parenting, self-esteem, and women’s issues. My communication style I strive to cultivate a nurturing and secure environment where clients feel acknowledged, valued, and understood. My communication is warm and straightforward, guiding clients toward clarity and progress in reaching their goals. My first session with you In our first session, we'll establish rapport while I gather information to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs. This will be a space for exploration and discovery, where I encourage you to share your story. I will ask about your history, current circumstances, and therapy goals. You can also ask any questions about the therapeutic process and what to expect moving forward.
