Kristina Smith

Kristina Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • San Juan Capistrano, CA


Hello! I'm Kris and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and the founder of Village Wellness Center, a thriving group psychotherapy practice based in San Juan Capistrano. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, and I specialize in maternal mental health, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the unique needs of women and mothers.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Sacramento State University and returned to school 15 years later to earn my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology.

The beginning of my career in mental health started in residential care helping at-risk youth, and over the course of 20 years, my work and experience evolved into leading and developing clinical programs for outpatient and court-mandated facilities while also building my specialty in perinatal mood disorders and maternal mental health in my private practice. Additionally over the past two decades, I was raising my family and actively contributing to the Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano communities.

Through my own struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety, I became a passionate advocate for maternal wellness and thriving families. This became the catalyst to opening Village Wellness Center, where the ability to serve entire families and promote holistic mental wellness with a team of therapists can be achieved.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Irvine, CA

Searching for therapists in Irvine starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. Irvine therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and training align with your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Irvine has a strong local network of mental health professionals, with options near areas like University Park, Irvine Business Complex, and Spectrum. You may prefer in-person therapy in Orange County, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. To narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Irvine can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists Irvine, CA residents can book with directly by showing therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist when you’re ready.
