Dr. Cristina Castagnini
Eating Disorder Specialist
Psychologist
My work with such a variety of clients led me to have an interest in adopted children and adoptive families, as I started to become aware that adoptees have a unique set of clinical concerns. Thus, I completed my dissertation on the topic of adoptees, comparing those adoptees in open versus closed adoptions.
After completing my Ph.D. at USC, I went on to work at Kaiser Permanente as a post-doctoral resident, where I saw adults in individual, group, and couples' therapy. I was licensed in the state of California in August, 2005, and have continued my clinical work at Kaiser Permanente, providing individual and group therapy to adults as well as supervising post-doctoral interns. I opened my private practice 11 years ago, where I also treat children, families and couples.
