Hi, I’m Kristen!
My name is Kristen Ackerman, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy in California (License #114822) and Colorado (License #.0002452). I offer virtual therapy to individuals throughout California, as well as in-person therapy in San Diego.
I bring over 10 years of experience across a range of mental health settings, working with diverse populations and presenting concerns. These experiences have allowed me to develop an approach to therapy grounded in both clinical skill and attunement to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to support you in creating shifts that not only align with your goals, but also feel sustainable in your day-to-day life.
Outside of the therapy room, you will find me walking my rescue dog, listen to audiobooks, or laying out at the beach.
I’m Glad You’re Here
Seeking support can feel vulnerable.
You may be navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a sense of overwhelm. Whatever brought you here, it makes sense that you’re looking for guidance. You don’t have to carry it alone.
That’s where I come in.
My approach is relational, collaborative, affirming, culturally attuned, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll cultivate insight, strengthen emotional regulation, deepen self-awareness, and foster meaningful, lasting change at a pace that works for you.
Call, text or email me toady for your complimentary consultation.
