Kristen Corkum

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in California with 12 years of professional work experience in treatment services serving adolescents, young adults, families, and groups. I am a Nationally Certified, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapist. I received my Master’s from the Boston University School of Medicine with attention to mental health counseling and behavioral medicine. I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & anger management. My passion is to enhance voice, choice, connection, and power in the clients that I work with. I believe in a compassionate, human-centered approach that explores how life experiences shape your views of self, relationships, and the world and whether those views help guide you towards your goals or potentially keep you stuck in suffering. Trust, support, and collaboration are crucial elements to healing and growth and the ability for clients to feel vulnerable enough to share their experiences. It takes courage to explore options for help and I look forward to supporting you in the process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One clear benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their needs and schedule – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to integrate treatment into a busy life.

These services are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they would like a different fit. Online therapy can offer a convenient way to access skilled support for many everyday mental health concerns while maintaining the same professional standards as in-person care.
