Astrid Koltun, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (#122302)
Something is stirring, perhaps it is a feeling or an intuition that there’s a truer, more beautiful life possible, a capacity to feel, think, and experience life more fully, if only you had the time. Through the therapeutic relationship, I provide a safe and nurturing environment where we can address emotional blocks and patterns of behavior that are no longer serving to create more space for freedom and joy to emerge.
Through body awareness, mindfulness, and deep listening I will support your unfolding, bringing strength and clarity to your relationships and decision making. Whether you are struggling with a phase of life change, anxiety, or unresolved trauma, I offer a warm and non judgmental space for the process of healing to unfold.
The ways I work therapeutically with clients include:
- Somatic Therapy
- Trauma-Informed Therapy
- Internal Family Systems Therapy (parts work)
- Attachment based, Psychodynamic Therapy
- Client-Centered Therapy
- Strengths-based approaches
Using a psychodynamic approach, I incorporate parts work and somatic awareness practices that benefit nervous system regulation to help you feel safe, seen and heard. If you are feeling stuck, struggling with work or relationship issues, I will support you in moving forward.I love working with diversity of all kinds.
Areas of focus of my work have been:
- Trauma/PTSD
- ADHD
- Body Image issues
- LGBTQIA
- Clients with a history of sexual/emotional/physical abuse
- Family dynamics, including divorce, co-parenting, & blended families
- Relationship dynamics & challenges
- Gender identity & sexuality
- Anxiety
- Life transitions such as marriage, motherhood, menopause
- Grief and loss
I have professional experience working with adults, adolescents and the unique challenges that come with parenting adolescents. I offer grounded care and emotional attunement, a space for new solutions to arise that create opportunities for growth and resilience, healing and self compassion.
