Heart Strings Therapy
About
Heart Strings Therapy is a licensed psychology practice led by Dr. Kristine Pickwith, PsyD, focused on supporting people living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, POTS, and other complex chronic conditions. Dr. Pickwith is a licensed psychologist in California and Oregon and has hEDS herself — lived experience that shapes how sessions handle pacing, medical trauma, grief around chronic illness, and the emotional demands of ongoing advocacy. Therapy blends evidence-based tools with a compassionate, realistic approach: processing grief, reducing isolation, building coping strategies for flares, and carving out moments of clarity within unpredictable symptoms. The Ventura office serves clients in person, and telehealth is offered to Californians and Oregonians, making this a practical option for LA-area patients seeking an EDS-aware therapist.
