At this time, I am NOT able to take any new clients. My ideal client is a person or family who is seeking change and who is looking for a therapist with an energetic, actively-involved, solution-focused style. When working with children, I use play therapy and will invite parents to play with us while teaching them what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I will also teach the parents how to reinforce the same skills at home through play or other techniques. When working with teens and adults, I adjust my style in order to build a connection.
I have extensive experience working with adults, as well as children ages 3 and up, and their families. When it comes to children, one of my interests is Special Education supports and laws, including IEPs, and 504s. I am well-versed in working with multi-disciplinary care-planning teams. I also have experience with adolescent substance abuse counseling.
I sincerely hope to speak with you more in the future, whether the therapy is for yourself, or for your child. Please reach out, and we can talk more about if we might be a good fit for each other. You have nothing to lose!

Meltdown Mastery Parent Grp - shift kids' behavior
![Photo of Kristin Espinosa, LMHC, Counselor](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/bfd95e66-44fb-47d4-aa60-86ce57a9262e/2/320x400.jpeg)
Meltdown Mastery is a live group course for parents who are struggling with their kids' behavior. I've taken what I teach families through my private practice and created a separate coaching business where I teach parents how to identify the REAL sources of their kids' anger/behavior, identify custom plans for how to help them, and then learn how to effectively execute that plan.
