About

Hi, I’m Kristina Carrera, LCSW, LAC, and I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, or even scary. That’s why I’m here: to create a space where you can be fully yourself, feel heard, and explore life’s challenges without judgment.

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I continue to work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. My approach blends evidence-based strategies, giving you practical tools for growth while honoring your values and beliefs. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, your therapy should fit you, not the other way around.

I’m passionate about helping clients move from surviving to thriving, turning challenges into opportunities for insight, resilience, and lasting change. Every session is a partnership: I bring expertise, empathy, and honesty, and you bring your courage, curiosity, and unique story.

Outside of work, I love reading, sewing, camping and being at the lake, and I bring that same curiosity and warmth into therapy. My hope is that by the time you leave a session, you feel lighter, clearer, and more anchored in who you are.
