I'm Kristen Parker, a licensed clinical social worker based in Los Angeles with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate some of life's most complex and painful challenges. My clinical background is rooted in a hospital specialty unit focused on trauma, eating disorders, and addiction — work that shaped my deep commitment to meeting clients where they are with compassion, patience, and genuine care.
Over the years, I've found that real therapeutic change often happens in those final moments of a session — which is why I'm intentional about offering full 60-minute appointments. I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful progress, and I take time to truly understand each person's story before anything else.
Whether you're working through trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, navigating an eating disorder, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you find your way forward.
