Kirsten Tretbar
Marriage & Family Therapist, TLMFT
My passion is helping neurodivergent, creative, and uniquely gifted individuals thrive. With years of experience teaching acting and film in Los Angeles, I bring creativity and empathy into my work with kids, teens, and their families.
I welcome individuals, couples, and whole families, who may be dealing with the complexities of neurodivergence, including ADD, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, incorporating systemic relational therapy practices, such as Narrative Therapy, and other evidence-based techniques to support healing and growth.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to helping clients understand and heal from both personal and intergenerational trauma. Through approaches like EMDR, I assist clients in processing and overcoming traumatic events to reclaim their lives.
For couples seeking to strengthen their relationships, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a methodology that helps partners explore their attachment styles and improve communication with empathy and understanding.
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating life transitions, I am here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and discover your strengths. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and enhancing your overall well-being.
