Kristin Donahue

Kristin Donahue, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), believes that everyone deserves to feel balanced, strong, and to lead a meaningful life. Recognizing that stress, anxiety, and trauma can manifest physically and impact happiness and clarity, she draws from 17 years of experience working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, geriatric clients, and military families. Kristin integrates a resiliency perspective, adopting a strength-based approach to inspire transformative change. Passionate about supporting military service members and their families, as well as law enforcement and first responder communities, she specializes in treating individuals grappling with trauma symptoms, PTSD, and mood disorders. Her previous counseling roles at Naval Base San Diego, the Fleet & Family Support Center, and the Wounded Warrior Detachment have deepened her expertise in addressing the complexities of trauma and traumatic brain injury. Kristin's involvement in the Navy’s Return and Reunion Program and her work as a Psychiatric Emergency Response Clinician for the San Diego Police Department demonstrate her commitment to serving these populations. She utilizes a blend of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness-based and somatic therapies, enabling her clients to heal through both body-based techniques and traditional talk therapy.
