Kristina Shippey

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Luis Obispo, CA


As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years. I am trained and experienced in several modalities including EMDR, mindfulness, Family Systems, Imago, the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology and early attachment. It has been a profound privilege being on this journey with others. Participating in a process where others dive deep into their vulnerable truth, has given my life great meaning. I've been called to provide a space for others to be seen, heard, and known in the midst of their feelings of shame, guilt, fear, inadequacy, unworthiness, and vulnerability and through their experience of being more truly known be reminded of their profound value and worthiness

Therapist

Hi, I'm Teri! I love integrating my Christian faith and biblical principles with therapeutic interventions. I know for many of us, we have experienced trauma that has left us wounded, and I believe God desires healing and restoration. I help individuals juggling family, work, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Struggling with past experiences, and sometimes unresolved pain, that is affecting how you feel and function. I want to help you break free from the weight of past trauma so it doesn’t define your present or your future and I’m here to walk with you as you pursue that.
