I am a mental health specialist who has been in the private and non profit services for children and adolescents for over 25 years
I hold the belief that many of life’s challenges including mental health can become strengths and lead to deeper meaning and purpose.
As a therapist that is informed by relational therapy, I believe we don't only heal with therapeutic strategies and techniques; we also heal in relationships and communities with one another. This means that my number one priority as your therapist is to develop a trusting and meaningful connection with you where you feel safe, seen, and regarded. My communication style varies from person to person because there is not one single way to show up and be present as a therapist.
I’m Katrina Balian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and able to build meaningful change in their lives.
What patterns keep repeating in your life, even when part of you wants something different?
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and experiences that have been hard to put into words -- including adoption-related history, infertility, and the emotional complexity of becoming a parent. A lot of what brings people to therapy isn't a single event. It's the quiet accumulation of feeling disconnected, unseen, or like something important has never had space to be worked through. I trained at UCLA and bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to this work.
