Deciding to come to counseling is a difficult one. My passion is to “walk along side” the person who ready to be challenged and work through being "stuck" from distressing experiences.

I am passionate about my work and believe in the healing benefits of psychotherapy. I view therapy as a process through which we explore the issues that confront you, place them in a context and develop strategies for change.

I am authentic and direct but a considerate therapist who will work with you and assist in empowering you to move forward in meeting your goals with care, compassion and a sense of humor.

Have issues at home or school left your child depressed, angry or withdrawn? Many times, behavior and mood changes may be your child’s way of communicating that they need help processing the things going on in their lives. When adults are stressed and overwhelmed, other aspects of our lives suffer (e.g. job performance, relationship, etc). Children & teens experience emotional stress in similar ways. Failing grades, self-harm or behavioral issues at home and school are signs that something deeper may be happening. As a parent you may feel helpless. You've tried all you know but nothing works. You just want it to get better!

I'm Rhea Kisling, and I've dedicated over two decades to the behavioral health sector.

In my work with couples, adults, and teens, my hope is that clients will leave therapy confident in their strengths, equipped to make wise choices, and empowered to maintain healthier lives and relationships. While the content of sessions depends on client needs/preferences, I typically work to alleviate negative symptoms within the context of current circumstances, help identify the root of challenges, and modify unhealthy cognitive and emotional processes. I use interventions that help clients break through an impasse and equip them with practical solutions for future problem-solving. I offer targeted short-term counseling or in-depth therapy that identifies and replaces negative patterns.

I help teens and young adults express themselves so they can feel seen and understood. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, artsy, and a skilled techy, life is hard. When my clients first come in, they often start off a bit on the quiet side. Maybe it's because they're the introverted type or maybe it's just that we're in the "getting to know each other" phase. Heck, it could even be that putting their struggles into words is like trying to watch YouTube when your parents turn off the WiFi. They feel trapped on a rollercoaster with all the ups and downs so fast they can't get their balance.
