Relational &
Depth-Oriented
Therapy in Orange County
Dr. Kittinger
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Psychodynamic Therapist
I believe therapy should create meaningful change that allows you to live more freely and fully aligned with yourself. Rather than only focusing on symptom relief, psychodynamic therapy is centered in understanding the deeper emotional patterns, past experiences, and relationship dynamics shaping your emotions, identity, and ways of relating to others. My approach balances compassion with challenge as we explore the grief, pain, and ingrained patterns that may be keeping you stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we work toward greater self-awareness, self-agency, and acceptance so you can create lasting change and move through life with more clarity and connection.
Therapy in Newport Beach, California
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy can go deeper than managing symptoms.
In our work together, we slow down to explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape your life — so real, lasting change becomes possible.
Body Image Workshops
Body image struggles often run deeper than appearance alone. In Embodied, we explore the beliefs, shame, perfectionism, and cultural messages that shape how you see yourself — and begin building a more compassionate, embodied relationship with your body.
Couples
Therapy
Relationship struggles often run deeper than the argument in front of you. In couples therapy we work to understand the patterns pulling you apart — and rebuild the connection that brings you back together.
