Helping you feel seen, supported, and hopeful again is my passion.
Hello! My name is Kristi Tanaka. I earned my Psy.D. in 2020 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Hawai'i in 2001, and I am credentialed as an LCSW and Board-Certified Diplomate (BCD). From 2009 through 2017, I worked for the Department of Defense at Schofield Barracks Health Clinic and Tripler Army Medical Center, providing therapy to dual-diagnosed service members, with a clinical focus on combat-related PTSD and military family issues. My experience also includes working with the severely and persistently mentally ill, at-risk youth, and children ages zero to three and their families through Easter Seals Hawai'i.
I offer supportive, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. In our sessions, you will be truly heard without pressure to fix everything at once. Together, we will explore your story, build practical tools for healing and growth, and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
In our work together, you can expect to feel more confident, more at ease sharing your story, and even find moments of laughter. My approach is warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth, with a focus on what truly helps you feel better and move forward. If you are ready for care that feels genuine, compassionate, and personal, I would be honored to work with you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Have you been fighting with your spouse, or have you lapsed into an apathetic relationship? Are your thoughts on raising children, where to spend holidays, or how to spend money coming between you? If any of this sounds familiar, or if you just know your relationship could be stronger, contact Thriveworks Austin. Our professional therapists can see you as early as this week. We’re ready to help you get your relationship back on track. Reach out today to get started.
Counseling has successfully helped many couples create a happier, healthier, more ideal relationship, and it can help you too. If disagreements or misunderstandings become constant, it’s easy for couples to forget how much their partner means to them. This is where couples counseling comes into play. Couples counseling provides couples with a counselor who is trained in dealing with marital and relationship issues.
If you’re living in an unhappy relationship, it can also cause physical and mental health problems beyond simply dealing with the strife itself. To prevent deterioration of your health, it’s important to seek therapy as soon as problems begin developing. In fact, the sooner you seek help, the better the outcomes of marriage and couples counseling. Your romantic relationship should be one of comfort and peace, not discord. If you’re struggling, contact us. We’ve helped many couples, and we can help you too.
Many communication problems can be linked to one particular event or pattern that started a chain of miscommunication. Your Thriveworks Austin couples counselor will help figure out the events that caused this to happen. Once those events are uncovered and processed, couples will then learn how to build a new framework of communication that involves creating loving interactions instead of harmful ones.
However, in some situations the couple may have lost their mutual respect. This typically occurs when there has been significant dishonesty between the partners, such as when one (or both) of the partners have cheated, lied (possibly about money or activities), or been deeply and consistently unkind to the other. If any of these circumstances apply, or if some other situation has caused you to lose respect for your partner, your relationship has the best chance of recovery with the help of a therapist.
Your Thriveworks Austin couples counselor can help you get to the bottom of the feelings behind the action that caused the loss of respect and help you to communicate those feelings in order to reestablish mutual understanding. From there, the therapist can help you, once more, to develop positive communication skills to avoid repeating the action in the future. Equally important, you and your partner will be given “homework” and led through exercises designed to help you reconnect as a couple and earn each other’s respect.
Now that you know communication is the main reason for relationship issues, don’t think that it can be resolved without outside help. It helps to have a neutral third party, such as one of the licensed, caring professionals at Thriveworks Austin, present to facilitate a productive discussion. If the two people try to work it out themselves, their deep hurts will likely prevent them from being successful. While earlier intervention is ideal, no matter what phase you’re in, couples counseling can help.
Thriveworks Austin does not keep a waiting list—we know the difficulty of living with relationship dysfunction, and we want to help you rebuild a healthy relationship as quickly as possible. For that reason, we’ll be able to schedule your appointment within a week. We also offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept many major insurances.
You can thrive. We can help. Reach out today to get started.
