Kristine Karaca, Psy.D.

I received my B.A. in Psychology with Honors from UC Santa Barbara and my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute located in Berkeley, CA. Since 1998, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of clinical settings. I completed my pre-doctoral training at St. Mary’s College Counseling Center and my post-doctoral training at the Ann Martin Center. As a therapist, I offer a warm, curious and honest approach. I listen carefully, offer observations, help clarify your concerns and remain inquisitive about what might be getting in the way of personal fulfillment. I take into account contextual, societal and cultural factors to discover how they might weave within your unique situation. Together, we can work to bring you closer to the kind of life and relationships that you seek. The first several meetings give us a chance to get to know each other and to better understand what you are looking for and what might be most helpful for you. If we decide to continue our work together, sessions are generally weekly for 50 minutes.
