Hi, I'm Kristina Tran. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked passionately in the mental health field in Los Angeles for the past 13 years. I am a first-generation Southeast Asian American and daughter of a genocide survivor. My personal story deeply shapes how I show up: with cultural humility, fierce compassion, and a deep respect for the strength it takes to simply keep going.
Clients & Populations Served
I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and the pressure of overachievement—especially within BIPOC communities. Whether you're a new parent, a higher performer quietly unraveling, or someone carrying stories that were never spoken aloud, I offer a space where your vision and truth are central.
A Strengths-Based, Collaborative Approach
I blend evidence-based tools with a relational, human-centered lens. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer practical skills for managing distress, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and creating lasting change. I believe that therapy is not something I do to you, but something we build together. I welcome feedback, adjust our work based on your evolving needs, and create space for both reflection and action. I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect for your inner wisdom into each session.
I know how important it is to feel seen, heard, and understood—and I'm committed to offering a space where you can show up fully, grow at your own pace, and move toward the life you want to live.
