About Me

PictureKristine Karaca, Psy.D. California License # PSY28592
​
​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 including Casa del Mural in Santa Barbara and Cleo Eulau Center and the Wright Institute Clinic in the bay area.  I completed my pre-doctoral training at St. Mary’s College Counseling Center and my post-doctoral training at the Ann Martin Center.  
 


In addition to private practice, I was formerly a staff psychologist at Ann Martin Center in the School-Based Program.  Along with providing teacher consultation, I worked closely with parents and caregivers in supporting their well-being and in collaborating on ways to support the psychological and social-emotional development of their child.  In this role, I was an individual therapist for children exposed to trauma and strived to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship.
