Kelli Bouscher

Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT 150994) based in California. With 9 years of clinical experience, she has worked with a wide range of people, including military veterans, families, and individuals who continue to be affected by trauma.

Her approach is eclectic and integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. She places emphasis on building resilience, increasing self-awareness, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change.

She provides therapy for stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. When working with couples she typically uses Behavioral Couples Therapy and CBT to reduce negative patterns and strengthen positive interactions. With families she applies Functional Family Therapy, often paired with contingency management, to address child behaviors that affect the family system and to improve communication and productive change.

As a female, Christian therapist who identifies as older and conservative, she understands how personal values can influence the therapeutic process. She believes that clients are the experts of their own stories and draws on their strengths to help them overcome challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and she is committed to supporting clients through that journey.
