Kristi Kangas, LCSW
About me
As a therapist licensed in California with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions, with particular expertise in helping adults navigate personal growth and emotional well-being.
I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, empowering them to build resilience, improve communication, and rediscover their inner strength and joy.
My professional background encompasses a wide range of therapeutic interventions designed to support individuals struggling with social anxiety, mood disorders, chronic pain, and life purpose exploration. I offer a supportive, collaborative approach that honors each client's individual experiences and goals.
