If you would like to have a free 15-minute consultation to see if I could be a fit for you, you can make an appointment at www.kristenhowertonlmft.com. I'm passionate about helping couples and families thrive. I enjoy working with clients who want to improve their relationships (even divorced couples who are coparenting.) I am experienced with working with autism spectrum, ADHD, infertility, adoption, multi-racial families, divorce mediation, and coparenting. I also have experience working with people struggling with addiction, and those who love them.

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self. In a welcoming, sex-positive, affirming, judgement-free environment, together in partnership with you. I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to bring about growth and change that goes beyond relieving distress. What I love about therapy is the journey, being able to help clients identify and enact value driven choices, accomplish goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envisioned.

Finding your soul's purpose is not always easy. With all of the pressures of modern day society, we can often get lost and are left feeling depleted.

Do you find yourself obsessing on food, weight or body image and want to break free? If you find yourself at a crossroad, and are ready to let go of what no longer serves you, I can help you take first step. Combining evidence based practices with creative interventions, I support clients in healing holistically.

Are you looking for a place to begin healing? Have you tried many other things, only to feel disappointed that life's challenges continue to be more complex than you thought? An effective therapy process creates space and understanding for the purpose of transforming life's struggles and disappointments. In the process, a renewed capacity for more satisfying relationships, greater effectiveness, resiliency and coping skills begin to emerge. Life becomes meaningful and purposeful. In a professional, caring environment, I seek to uncover the patterns and difficulties of the past and create an environment where healing and recovery can take place.

I believe in taking a client centered approach in therapy and the person I am working with is the expert on their own life, and would benefit from unbiased, non-judgemental feedback and support. I am a CODA, child of deaf adult and fluent in American sign language, and I am a new mom myself. I thrive in working with people on their healing journey of processing past trauma, and working at that persons pace and take an empowerment, feminist approach as well.

Does your child struggle to manage big emotions? Does your child often get in trouble at school or in their extracurricular activities for being disruptive? Emotion Regulation is something we all continue to work on whether we know it or not. We all encounter situations that can test our limits and heighten our emotional state and reactivity to certain triggers. If we can recognize that we are becoming less regulated, we are able to do something about it before we react in a way that may cause inadvertent harm to others or ourselves. Emotion regulation comes natural to some, but for others it needs to be taught and practiced.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I'm able to work with children, teenagers, and adults in different capacities. My focus is conducting psychological-educational evaluations and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) to provide parents, teachers, administrators, tutors, and students with an in-depth insight into the student's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of intelligence, processing, academics, and social-emotional/behavioral skills.

For 20 years, I have worked as a full-time professor of marriage and family therapy at Chapman University. I love training students how to be therapists -- but I might love working with my own clients even more. I specialize in helping people who have experienced childhood trauma, infertility, and loss. I also specialize in helping couples increase their relationship satisfaction, emotional connection, and recovery from infidelity.
