About

Christina M. Owen, MA holds a Chula Vista marriage and family therapy practice, bringing a CBT-informed, solution-focused methodology to clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship conflict. The LMFT's clinical scope covers individual and couples therapy with referral pathways from primary-care providers including Scripps Coastal Medical Center Eastlake for patients whose presenting symptoms warrant psychotherapeutic intervention. A Chapman University graduate who began clinical work in 2008, Owen draws from experience in private practice, group homes, inpatient and outpatient settings, and federal contracting to inform her treatment planning. The practice serves adults managing anger, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, and trauma-related symptoms, with particular focus on veterans, survivors of abuse, and individuals with chronic illness. Stress-management techniques used in session align with the structured movement and mindfulness programming available at Namaste Fitness Otay Ranch for clients building resilience outside the therapy room. Evidence-based treatment protocols incorporate motivational interviewing, emotionally focused therapy, and strength-based cognitive restructuring across a phased stabilization-processing-integration framework.
