Kristen Caron

Walking into a first session with Kristen Caron, clients often find something they didn’t expect: a therapist who speaks fluently in both the emotional and the physiological — someone who understands why the body behaves the way it does, not just why the mind does. For two decades, Kristen has worked as a licensed psychotherapist and published nutritionist, and that dual lens shapes everything about how she listens. She works with teenagers, young adults, men, and women navigating eating disorders, body image struggles, mood and depressive disorders, anxiety, grief, addiction, and the quiet erosions of self-esteem.

Her grounding in endocrinology and nutritional science — including years collaborating with a specialist in diabetes and obesity, and two co-authored books on hormonal influences on eating — means she approaches disordered eating as both a biological and an emotional reality. When a teenager’s relationship with food is fracturing alongside a relationship with a parent, and those conflicts spill into dinner-table silences interrupted only by phones, Kristen holds space for all of it. She is a professional speaker and active member of several national eating disorder organizations, including a founding role in the Los Angeles chapter of IAEDP. Online sessions are available.
