Christa Holder LMFT #133762
Hi, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Christa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m part of Clear Mind Counseling’s San Diego therapy team, where I provide thoughtful, individualized support for adults and couples seeking meaningful and lasting change.
My practice is especially dedicated to working with individuals who identify as creatives, explorers, and dreamers — people who often feel deeply, think expansively, and long for a stronger sense of connection and purpose. Together, we explore actionable steps toward growth while also building resilience around the parts of life that are outside of our control.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and existential concerns. These experiences can show up in many ways, including racing thoughts, feelings of overwhelm, dissatisfaction with life circumstances, or a sense of disconnection from oneself or others.
In my work, I draw from a multifaceted clinical approach that integrates mindfulness and embodiment practices, experiential therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these evidence-based modalities, we collaborate to develop insight, self-awareness, and sustainable patterns of change.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON THE THERAPEUTIC EXPERIENCE AND CHANGE
As a therapist, I embody a dynamic and engaged presence, fostering an environment conducive to exploration and growth. I firmly believe in harnessing the transformative power of humor and the profound impact of laughter in therapeutic interactions, thereby fostering a sense of ease and connection.
Clients consistently attest to my grounded and approachable demeanor, describing me as empathetic, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the nuances of their experiences. My commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care underscores every interaction, as we collaboratively navigate the complexities of your journey towards holistic well-being.
Ensuring a good fit between therapist and client is crucial for successful therapy. We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good match. Taking this first step to seek support is important, and we are honored to guide you on your path towards healing and personal growth.
“Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results.”
