Kristen Corkum, LPCC

Kristen Corkum is a California-licensed clinician with 13 years of experience delivering treatment services to adolescents, young adults, families, and groups. She holds the LPCC credential - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and is nationally certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Kristen earned a Master’s degree from the Boston University School of Medicine with a focus on mental health counseling and behavioral medicine, grounding her work in both clinical training and evidence-informed techniques.

Her practice centers on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and develop skills for anger management. Kristen aims to amplify voice, choice, connection, and personal agency in the people she supports, using a compassionate, human-centered stance that considers how life experiences shape perceptions of self, relationships, and the wider world. That exploration helps clarify whether existing beliefs and patterns guide someone toward their goals or keep them stuck in suffering.

Trust, supportive collaboration, and a willingness to be vulnerable are central elements of her approach. Kristen emphasizes partnership with clients as they weigh options for change, and she encourages the courage needed to seek help and pursue growth.
