Great to meet you!

With over a decade of experience, Kristina Villareal brings compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and personality disorders. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Kristina offers powerful tools for healing, particularly for those processing traumatic experiences.

My approach to therapy

Kristina tends to use mainly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session to help the client connect their thoughts to their behaviors. However, if that is not the right fit for the client, she will use DBT, EMDR, Solution Focused, or trauma base therapy. Kristina is direct and purposeful in her approach in order for the client to get the most out of their time in therapy.

What you can expect from me

Whether you’re facing a challenging life transition or working through long-standing emotional pain, Kristina provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to support your growth and healing.
