Hello! I’m Karelin Wadkins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and families. My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, codependency, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with substance use concerns and the unique stressors of menopause and perimenopause. In therapy, I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences with compassion. Using a blend of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I’ll help you slow down, clarify your values, and build the tools to move toward the life you want to live. I approach my work with empathy, openness, and a genuine desire to understand and support each of my clients. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as we navigate your challenges and uncover your strengths. Let’s work together to help you move through discomfort and toward a more fulfilling and authentic life. I look forward to meeting you!

I have a Masters Degree in Counseling and I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 15 years. My experience involves 18 + years working with children and families involved in the child welfare system. I helped families address a range of concerns that revolved around child abuse, child neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, child custody, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and more. I have also worked with adult and adolescent psychiatric patients in acute and residential settings, advocating for patients’ rights. I work from a Solution Focused (SF) theoretical approach and focus on what people CAN do rather than what people CANNOT do to help their situation. I help clients capitalize on their strengths and reframe “weakness” into strengths. I assist clients in identifying constructive behaviors they are already utilizing. I also believe that exploring family history is important in understanding a person’s values and belief system Though your situation may seem insurmountable, I believe you will learn the tools to achieve your goals.

Greetings, and congratulations on making the decision to improve your life situation. Whether or not you choose to work with me, your choice to obtain therapy assistance for your concerns will have beneficial effects for you and the people close to you.

I am diverse in my approach and firmly believe that therapeutic goals must be made in conjunction and agreement with the individual seeking therapy. I lived overseas for a number of years so I am sensitive to cultural differences. I have specialized training in military trauma, sexual trauma as well as with adults with different types of trauma. I am experienced in helping people who are transitioning from one life phase to another: Relationship and family transitions, job/occupational challenges and changes, dealing with chronic pain and illnesses, and the challenges of caretakers for partners or parents. I enjoy working with people who are seeking to meet goals they they have not yet been able to achieve, and to recognize the strengths they possess and to develop strategies to maximize those strengths. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you. You CAN achieve your goals!!
