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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Redlands, CA


My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I work with adults and young adults who are dealing with anxiety, past trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, or the feeling of being overwhelmed while trying to keep everything together. Together, we focus on helping you make sense of your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward real, lasting change. I use approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT, and for those who desire it, I can also incorporate faith into the process.
