Christina Kam, Therapist
Christina Kam, LMFT, is dedicated to helping individuals and families across California navigate life’s challenges with compassion and insight. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, creating a supportive space where clients can explore their emotions and experiences. Christina believes in fostering self-compassion and understanding, empowering her clients to make meaningful changes and build stronger relationships.
Christina is particularly passionate about addressing immigration issues, family intergenerational trauma, and multicultural/AAPI struggles. With deep sensitivity to the complexities of cultural identity and generational dynamics, she helps clients process their experiences and strengthen connections with their heritage and loved ones. Her work supports those facing the emotional impact of immigration, guiding individuals and families toward healing and resilience.
In her practice, Christina offers individual, group, and family therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and parenting skills to help clients manage anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and other mental health concerns. Christina also serves diverse populations, including first responders, military veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring inclusive and culturally responsive care.
Outside of her work, Christina finds balance and joy in outdoor adventures, whether dirt bagging in the mountains or climbing walls. She’s an avid Dodger fan, a karaoke enthusiast, and a devoted seeker of exclusive Asian snacks — always making time for ice cream. Currently, she’s developing a mental health, art-based program to support older Korean American immigrants, blending her passion for community and creativity.
