About Christina
Christina Kohfield is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and wounds from trauma or abuse. Christina aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can start to feel more grounded and more like themselves.
Her work often centers on improving self-esteem, repairing how people relate to others, and finding clearer purpose after life changes. She uses approaches that emphasize connection and personal meaning, and she tailors each session to the person in front of her. Sessions also address practical problems like sleep, eating, parenting strain, and managing anger.
Christina draws on attachment perspectives to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She combines that with client-centered listening and tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Existential ideas are woven in when clients raise questions about values, meaning, or life direction.
She notes a Christian-informed outlook and respects clients' spiritual and cultural backgrounds when relevant to care. Christina brings two decades of work with a wide range of concerns, including grief, intimacy issues, ADHD-related challenges, caregiver stress, and substance use. Her style is practical and compassionate, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
To begin, Christina asks people to identify goals and priorities so sessions can focus on what matters most. Her practice supports step-by-step change through listening, skills practice, and honest conversation.
