I grew up in a military base in San Diego and have been lucky enough to be able to stay in this beautiful city. My journey to becoming a therapist began during college when I struggled with anxiety. Through therapy, I learned cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral techniques to better manage it. This personal experience led me to pursue helping others cultivate a sense of wholeness and live more satisfying lives. With years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals, children, teens, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, communication difficulties, and relationship issues. My treatment approach is strengths-based and person-centered, providing a safe and supportive space for you to explore your strengths, develop new skills, and improve your relationships. I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am certified in EMDR since 2023. Additionally, I have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method couples counseling, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and certifications in AIM-HI for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. If we connect, I'm confident in my ability to guide you towards living a more authentic and fulfilling life. https://www.kerisebournlmft.com/faqs-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-03 https://www.kerisebournlmft.com/services daily 0.75 2025-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24589421e2393e1446a751/1599691395768-Y1Z5LENFWIV92OGYR1UD/Child-and-Adolescent-Header-Logo-1-800x432.jpeg Services - EMDR Therapy Accelerate Healing & Break Free from Trama.

IFS views the mind from a multiplicity perspective positing that we have many different “parts”—such as protectors, wounded exiles, and our core Self—each playing a role in shaping thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By fostering self-compassion and internal harmony, IFS helps individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety and self-criticism, and develop emotional resilience. Through this approach, clients can access their Self’s natural wisdom, leading to deep healing, personal growth, and improved relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24589421e2393e1446a751/1599691463289-XLVJE8R3X9TZKNUUZIP9/Hands-together-sq.jpg Services - Family Therapy Building Stronger Bonds, Together as One The joy of family therapy, for me, is that with everyone in the room more change is possible. In family therapy, I work with you and your entire family to identify your strengths and areas for improvement to promote more attuned, attached and positive family relationships. Similar to that of couples work, I act as a process consultant to first assist you and your family in identifying the negative patterns and cycles that keep you from having the relationships you all desire, then we work together in identifying strategies to combat these negative cycles and patterns to promote more positive interactions within the family. I have experience working with families through issues of adoption, traumatic events, supporting blended families, and promoting positive co-parenting between split households. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24589421e2393e1446a751/1599691684748-NNBJFUODN146MN3H4R67/child-2712975_960_720.jpg Services - Child Youth & Teen Counseling Nurturing Young Minds, Empowering Bright Futures Childhood is so different from when you and I were kids. With the increased demand in school, the presence of technology and social media it is no surprise that the rates of childhood anxiety and depression have significantly increased. In working with children, I bring in many evidenced based practices to assist you and your children in developing coping strategies to manage a variety of issues such as: stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal and parasuicidal behaviors. I also have extensive experience in working with children and teens who struggle with ADHD. In working with children, the parents are naturally included, where we review ways to promote positive parent-child interactions, and equip you with skills to assist your child in living more freely without feeling weighed down. https://www.kerisebournlmft.com/general-1-2 daily 0.75 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg https://www.kerisebournlmft.com/general-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-03
