Kristen Lipari, PhD
PSY32051Bio:We all try to do our best to cope with stress, but sometimes it all becomes too much. You don't have to brave it alone. You deserve support. My clients are new parents coping with tiny humans taking over their lives, couples working through the transition to parenthood, and individuals looking build resilience against trauma, anxiety, and depression. Parenthood offers plenty of rewards, but also challenges at every turn. I work collaboratively with my clients to promote awareness, insight, and adaptive thinking to make it a little bit easier. My work is tailored to your individual needs and informed by your cultural background and family dynamics. I am a licensed psychologist and work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to help my clients challenge unhelpful thoughts that may be causing undue stress. I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University in New York. I completed an APA-accredited predoctoral internship at the University of San Diego and a postdoctoral residency at the University of California, San Diego Counseling and Psychological Services/Student Health Services with a specialization in Behavioral Health.
