Tania Brunner

Tania Brunner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Irvine, CA


I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.

My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Kristina Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Los Angeles

Finding family therapists in Los Angeles starts with identifying what your family wants support with and what kind of therapist is trained for that work. Family therapy may help with parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, communication challenges, or stress across generations. Family therapists, including marriage and family therapists, are trained to work with the relational system, rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare profiles, look for experience with your family’s specific needs, such as parent-child relationships, sibling conflict, school-related concerns, or life transitions.

Los Angeles has many therapists across neighborhoods like Silver Lake, Long Beach, Pasadena, West LA, and the San Fernando Valley, so the number of options can make the search harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions fit your commute, parking needs, and schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for family members in different locations to attend. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups within the family, or individual members at different points. Reading therapist bios can help you understand session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.

Family counseling in Los Angeles can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who offer family counseling in Los Angeles and have current availability. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can compare bios, filter by what matters to you, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
