Kristina Carrera

Are you exhausted from people-pleasing, overgiving, or walking on eggshells just to keep the peace? I specialize in helping adults break free from relationship anxiety, burnout, mistrust, and perfectionism. Whether you are recovering from past betrayals, navigating attachment wounds, or struggling with overthinking, I offer a warm, grounded space to help you quiet relational panic, rebuild self-worth, and set firm, guilt-free boundaries.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), my focus is helping you stop erasing your own needs so you can step into authentic, secure connections.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to give you both immediate relief and long-term healing:

• EMDR & Attachment Therapy: Process past relational trauma and childhood wounds so you stop feeling reactive or stuck in current connections.
• CBT & ACT: Reframe intrusive, anxious thoughts, quiet panic, and take action aligned with your core values.
• Solution-Focused Skill Building: Learn actionable tools to navigate conflict, set clear boundaries, and stay anchored in your worth.

We move at your pace, balancing practical, everyday tools with deep root-cause healing.

Your initial intake is a collaborative, low-pressure conversation designed to build your personalized therapeutic roadmap. We will discuss what brought you in, explore relevant history, and identify the specific triggers impacting your daily life. Most importantly, we will clarify what peace and relief mean to you so you leave with clarity on our next steps and a clear path forward.
