Kari Hidalgo, LMFT

Kari Hidalgo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California and Colorado who has provided direct counseling services for more than 10 years, including over five years of tele-mental health work. She supports individuals, couples, and families through many seasons of life, with experience addressing trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, postpartum depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her work emphasizes encouragement and steady support while helping clients strengthen self-care, clarify healthy boundaries, and build coping skills that can carry into everyday life.

Kari is drawn to listening closely to people’s stories and walking alongside them as they pursue healthier, more connected relationships. As a wife and working mother of four, she recognizes how difficult it can be to create balance and meaning while managing competing responsibilities, and she brings that awareness into the therapy space in a grounded, practical way.

Her approach is informed by Trauma and Community Resiliency Models, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, and she is also a certified grief counselor. Kari aims to support not only those who have lived through significant trauma, but also those facing ongoing stressors, with care that is consistent, dedicated, and tailored to what each person needs over time.
