Cristina Key, APCC

You’ve always been the helper, the one who takes care of everyone else. But lately, you feel tired, overlooked, and unsure where you fit in all of it. You crave more joy, balance, and confidence. You want to understand why you give so much, find your voice, and start living in a way that feels true to who you are without guilt, confusion, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll explore your story with curiosity and compassion. You’ll learn to honor your needs without losing connection to others. This is your invitation to stop overfunctioning, feeling like you have to prove your worth, or carrying everyone else’s weight.

I offer an affirming space for neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and multicultural clients. I specialize in grief, parenting, relationships, trauma, substance use, stress, anxiety, and depression. Using CBT, DBT, IFS, and narrative approaches, I help you clarify values, build self-compassion, and create lasting change.

Therapy is a place where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the person you’ve always been underneath the noise. In our work together, you’ll find courage to choose yourself without losing compassion for others. Healing begins when you feel seen, understood, and empowered to write a new story.

Accepting new Medi-Cal and self-pay clients in-person at our San Francisco office or via Telehealth.
