I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis. I am humbled with the invitation to join your journey, and help you learn how to help yourself. We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective. I appreciate the bravery and courage that it takes for each of my clients to let me into their lives and become vulnerable with me.

Kristina Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • San Juan Capistrano, CA


Hello! I'm Kris and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and the founder of Village Wellness Center, a thriving group psychotherapy practice based in San Juan Capistrano. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, and I specialize in maternal mental health, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the unique needs of women and mothers.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Sacramento State University and returned to school 15 years later to earn my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology.

The beginning of my career in mental health started in residential care helping at-risk youth, and over the course of 20 years, my work and experience evolved into leading and developing clinical programs for outpatient and court-mandated facilities while also building my specialty in perinatal mood disorders and maternal mental health in my private practice. Additionally over the past two decades, I was raising my family and actively contributing to the Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano communities.

Through my own struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety, I became a passionate advocate for maternal wellness and thriving families. This became the catalyst to opening Village Wellness Center, where the ability to serve entire families and promote holistic mental wellness with a team of therapists can be achieved.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Santa Ana

Searching for therapists in Santa Ana starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match your needs and note the type of care they offer, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.

Santa Ana offers access to therapy across Orange County, including nearby options for therapy in Orange County, Santa Ana counseling, and virtual appointments with California-licensed therapists. If getting to an office near Downtown, Civic Center, or another local neighborhood fits your schedule, in-person care may be a good match. If your calendar varies, virtual therapy can give you more appointment options while staying within your provider’s California license. Before booking, review availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and free phone consultation options so you can compare fit before starting care.

Therapy in Santa Ana can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can use Headway to verify your benefits and view estimated out-of-pocket costs for Santa Ana before booking. You can browse therapist profiles, compare specialties and availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
