About Christina Altemueller

Meet Christina Altemueller, LMFT

I’m Christina Altemueller, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and their families.

My path began with a B.A. in Sociology from UC Davis and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. Over the course of 10 years, I provided Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding and supporting children on the autism spectrum and other neurodivergent experiences.

Since opening my private practice in 2014, I have dedicated my work to helping children and families discover their strengths, build resilience, and foster meaningful connections. I believe every child and family has the ability to grow, adapt, and thrive with the right support.

In my practice, I strive to create a space that feels safe, compassionate, and collaborative, where children and parents feel truly understood while developing practical coping strategies they can use in daily life. My deepest commitment is to walk alongside families with warmth, curiosity, and respect for their unique journey.

My approach combines play therapy, family counseling, and parent coaching so that every child and family feels both supported and empowered. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Sessions are available in person in Santa Clara or virtually anywhere in California.
