Therapists for Teens in 60108

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 15 years of experience working with multiple people in the therapy room dealing with relationship issues. This training prepared me to ensure that everyone has an active part of the therapeutic process. I believe that therapy is a collaborative approach where a trusting therapeutic relationship is established and used to identify existing strengths and workable solutions. I also believe that my role is to assist individuals, couples or families in developing skills that address there presenting concerns and continue to be useful beyond the end of therapy.

Are you looking for a trustworthy and compassionate collaborator to help you navigate challenges in your life? I am passionate about helping my clients process their pasts, problem solve and work through current issues, and create meaningful change in their lives. As a therapist, I am gentle and warm and I make it a goal to help clients feel comfortable quickly. By honoring your individuality and the unique circumstances that bring you to therapy, I can help you build upon your strengths, optimize your self awareness, and create the life you want!

I am a clinician focused on fostering growth, personal change, and self-empowerment with individuals and families. I love nothing more than knowing that a client and family are able to find new solutions and acquire new skills to achieve positive outcomes through therapy. I recognize that it is crucial to build a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for each client and to work collaboratively towards goal achievement.

I believe life is a journey. It is full of ups & downs, good & hard things. How we deal & cope with these experiences is what can make the journey a positive challenge. My ultimate goals in providing therapy to clients are to assist them in their ability to cope & deal with what life throws them, the easy & the challenging; & assist them in their own personal growth along their journeys. I provide Ketamine and TMS assisted psychotherapy.

What stories are you telling yourself about who you are, how you got here, or what comes next?

I strive to support both children and adults who are navigating life's typical ups and downs, but also immense challenges. I want to help individuals recognize their worth, gifts, and true value and help them develop ways to share them in a meaningful way with others.

Hi, I'm Kristen! It is my passion to help you maximize your well-being. I provide specialized support for individuals seeking help with life challenges. I work with a diverse client base, ranging from teens to adults with different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations.

I take an active part in helping my clients recognize why they may engage in maladaptive behaviors and help them to move toward constructive ways of handling their life issues in more adaptive ways.

People that are looking for professional mental health services come from all ethnicities, backgrounds, and walks of life.

I know the idea of therapy can seem overwhelming or frightening at first, but you should take pride in exploring your first step. I can help ease those fears and we can work together to address whatever may be getting in your way to living a happier, more fulfilled life. Everyone needs help at times, whether it requires addressing past issues or more current problems, and therapy enables you to receive necessary support, develop skills, embrace your strengths, and make desired changes in a safe, judgment-free space. As no two individuals are exactly alike, sessions are tailored to meet your own unique needs.

You are valuable just as you are, and there's nothing broken about you. Asking for professional help, like you're doing right now, is a testament to your strength and commitment to growth. I have experience helping people in a variety of different areas, but am especially passionate about supporting those with anxiety, depression, shame, grief, self-esteem, codependency, perfectionism, adult caregivers, medical personnel, and evangelical deconstruction. Together, we will create a safe place that's designed for you.
