Dr Kristen Kinsfogel

Licensed Psychologist

“Practicing as a licensed psychologist for over 20 years, I love supporting clients working through life transtions and identity development concerns. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, or lost, I can help you develop skills to address your current symptoms or life situation to find more peace and satisfaction.”

About Me

With over twenty years providing psychotherapy as a licensed psychologist, I deeply value helping individuals navigate significant life changes. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or lost, I sit with you in a space where you can explore these feelings without judgement. We'll work collaboratively to identify potential changes and develop practical skills. This helps you address current challenges and find a clearer path to more peace and satisfaction.

Approach

When change feels overwhelming, I focus on practical, gentle ways to shift day-to-day patterns so you feel more grounded. Sessions—available in Orange, California or online in English—move at a steady, collaborative pace with clear goals and brief experiments between meetings. We practice concrete skills, track how mood and anxiety show up, and gently challenge unhelpful habits to build new responses. Adults navigating transitions, trauma, or codependent patterns often find this steady, hands-on style helpful.
