Christina Klein, LMFT, PMH-C
Hi, I’m Christina. I’m so glad you’re here!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist born and raised in Marin County. I have been working with children, teens, adults and families for over a decade.
In addition to private practice, I've worked in a variety of settings including reproductive health centers, mental health agencies as well as served as a school counselor and therapist in both public and private schools for K-12 students.
I bring a warm, compassionate style to working with my clients. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates psychodynamic principles, developmental and attachment theory as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies and tools. My counseling philosophy is rooted in client-centered and strengths-based practices. I see it as a true honor to walk with individuals as they discover their own story and begin to experience positive change in their own lives.
As a mother of two young boys, I know firsthand the joys and demands that parenting brings. Things that have helped me on my parenting journey include connection with other mommas, lattes, nature and being outdoors, dark chocolate and mindfulness. When I’m not in the office, you can find me chasing after my two active boys, listening to a good podcast reading, and watching reality TV (most notably Bravo).

Fees + Insurance
During our initial phone consultation, we can discuss my current fees. I provide a limited number of sliding-scale options. Please reach out for additional information.
I am an out-of-network provider, which means that I do not accept insurance. I can provide you with an insurance-ready statement (commonly referred to as a superbill) which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to find out if you are eligible for reimbursement for out-of-network mental health visits.
Payment is expected at each appointment.
