Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Cristy Thom, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and high-acuity youth in community mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves, heal from trauma, navigate difficult relationships, and work through the lasting effects of childhood wounds and family conflict. I also enjoy supporting clients through major life transitions, including career changes, relationship challenges, and periods of personal growth. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I invite you to schedule a session so we can begin that journey together.

My approach to therapy

My own life experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience it takes to overcome adversity, and I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel understood and empowered. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and enjoy helping clients process traumatic experiences, reduce emotional distress, and move toward healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to get to know you, understand your unique experiences, and build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration. In our first session, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, supported, and respected. I strive to be genuine, compassionate, and fully present as we work together to navigate life's challenges and move toward the changes you want to make.
