Hey There
My name is Kristina Clancy and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I provide
telehealth services to all of California and in person services to the San diego area.
I have extensive experience working with the military population. Military members and their families are often combating the challenges of deployments, coupled with long periods of familial separation, and difficulties creating a healthy balance of work and personal life. These struggles often result in experiences of anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness, and various relationship challenges. As a 20+ year military spouse I have the personal and professional experience to understand and empathize with the demand of being apart of the military culture.
My Philosophy on Mental Health
My therapeutic focus is relationships. We have many relationships: spouses, partners, family, work, the community, and ourselves. Relationships begin with the self; if we tend to treat ourselves badly, we will eventually treat others badly or even worse, let others treat us badly.
I believe that YOU are doing the best you can with where you are at in life. Keeping this in mind sometimes we can get caught up in fear, guilt and shame, which can cloud the truth and keep us from living the life we desire. My goal is to help individuals, couples and families create awareness of current belief systems, social influences and experiences that contribute to suffering. Utilizing compassion, mindfulness and empathy clients can develop an awareness of what contributes to suffering and learn to choose love and compassion to sustain a more meaningful and happy life.
My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, trauma, and couples therapy. I have been working with active duty military community for over 20 years.
More About Me
I am a Florida native and have been calling San Diego home for the last 9 years. I have been fortunate to have lived in sunny weather and near the water all my life. There is something so mysterious, and serene about the ocean. It has evoked so many different emotions depending on where I have been emotionally and spiritually on my journey.
I enjoy traveling around the world and experiencing new cultures. I have a love of learning new things and have hopes to become a student again.
