Dr. Kristen Kochamba is a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY30345) who provides individual therapy to adolescents and adults. She specializes in OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative, drawing from CBT and evidence-based treatments including ERP, ACT, DBT, and Mindful Self-Compassion. She works with clients to better understand their patterns, navigate difficult thoughts and feelings, and develop practical tools that help them feel more confident and less controlled by their emotions.

Dr. Kochamba earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University, where she received the Outstanding Dissertation Award for her research on mindfulness-based treatments. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and her postdoctoral fellowship at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and CBT California. She also served as a Staff Therapist at The Camden Center, a leading dual-diagnosis treatment center in Los Angeles, where she provided comprehensive DBT and evidence-based treatment to adults with complex emotional and psychological concerns. She is certified in CBT by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and has served as Secretary-Treasurer of the Southern California Chapter of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science.

In addition to her clinical work, she provides consultation and training to therapists on evidence-based approaches to OCD and anxiety, with a particular interest in mindfulness and compassion-focused treatment. Dr. Kochamba believes therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest, understood, and fully yourself. She helps clients step out of cycles of overthinking, avoidance, and self-doubt, face what feels difficult, and make meaningful changes in their everyday lives. Her goal is to help clients feel more grounded, capable, and free to focus on the people and experiences that matter most.
