"*NOT TAKING NEW PATIENTS* It takes much courage and strength to seek therapy. I believe that the path to healing and wellness is an empowering process of growth. I provide a genuine accepting and supportive environment in which to explore and navigate through the challenges in your life. I strive to assist clients on their personal journey of self-discovery by treating each person as an unique individual.I specialize in collaborating with clients to strengthen self-worth, find basic unmet human needs, and understand the significance of relationships. My goal is to assist in discovering solutions and skills to meet client needs."

"Many people who have experienced heartbreak, betrayal, abuse and loss have difficulty living fully in the present. Some feel there is a wall between them and the world, leaving them as outsiders: disconnected with no sense of worth and belonging. Some seek comfort in sex, food, drugs/alcohol, self-harm, and other behaviors that mostly cause more pain. Some become depressed and withdrawn, unable to care for themselves or those they love. Asking for help in times like these takes tremendous courage. Reaching out to the right person can be a powerful step on toward healing."

"As a clinical hypnotherapist and licensed clinician, I like to work with individuals who seek to explore and understand the deeper aspects of the self. My goal is to work with you to explore the subconscious, patterns of behavior, belief systems, relationships and the underlying reasons for current behaviors and emotions, but also in helping you develop an acceptance of the self."

I want to help you with your goals whatever they may be! *Seeing couples that are in monogamous, open or polyamorous relationships.*"

"My approach to therapy is collaborative in nature, client-driven, and specifically suited to fit each individual's needs. I have helped clients with issues ranging from the treatment and maintenance of severe mental illness, to working with clients who simply wish to improve their daily lives. My therapeutic style can assist individuals during difficult life transitions, assessing the areas in their lives that need re-adjustment, help couples regain their intimacy and compassion for one another, help parents with children who are having behavior issues, address pre/postnatal issues including postpartum depression and anxieties, and much more."

"My mission is to offer space and a relationship which allows you to explore, grow, and work towards being the truest you that you can be. I believe that you are the expert, and I am someone who is honored to be part of your journey. We will be real people, working together towards the goals you have, or perhaps working together to uncover what they might be. With anyone I work from 4 to 84, the focus is on that person, empowering their voice and understanding their needs."

"I have helped couples work on their relationship communication and my clients have worked on their anger, self-esteem, significant life changes or difficult life situations and relationship challenges. I consider the stories that clients tell me to be a gift. As a counselor it is my intention to give my clients the opportunity to tell me their story in a place where they are not judged and where they can begin to explore options for feelings and behaviors. The client-counselor relationship is about working together so the client can make positive changes in their lives."

"My approach to therapy is, first and foremost, about the relationship between the therapist and client. Acceptance, compassion, and respect are the building blocks of a therapeutic relationship. I believe in developing a trusting, accepting, and empathetic relationship, focusing on the strengths of the client. My master's education was completed at the University of Denver which ranks in the top 20 schools in the nation for social work schools. Their clinical social work program is ranked in the top 7 percent of all accredited social work programs in the nation and has prepared me to provide the best care to meet client needs."

"I specialize in treating patients with anxieties, sexual abuse, phobias, bipolar disorder, somatization, behavioral problems, and personality issues. Proper diagnosis is central to designing effective treatment and this is a strength of my practice. The result of this model is my rate of successful treatment is greater than average in the profession. I also consult with other providers regarding their difficult patients in three states."

"Acceptance and Change. These two things seem like complete opposites don't they? Carl Rogers believes "When I accept myself, then I can change". We spend a lot of time hearing and believing that we, they, it needs to change to be "better" or "different". This creates a sense of loss, poor self esteem, depression, anxiety, and conflict within ourselves and with those we love. I believe when we accept others, family, loss etc, then change can happen within that as well. Therapy IS about change; learning new skills, stopping habits, doing life differently."

"Krysteena provides therapy intended to reduce distress and conflict by improving relationships and building self-confidence.

By providing support, validation, and thoughtful questioning, she aims to assist individuals in finding their own version of stability and happiness. Krysteena utilizes interventions stemming from Solution-Focused therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive therapy, and Family Systems Theory."

"I help clients who are struggling to find balance in their lives. Our struggle to manage all of the stress that life brings us is a major factor in depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I work in collaboration with my clients to personalize treatment so that they get the most out of it, rather than a 'one size fits all' model. I utilize holistic care as well as research based treatments that are shown to produce results."

"I offer a warm, therapeutic, and supportive environment designed to aid in your healing and growth. I believe in therapy that allows you the space needed to truly explore your thoughts and feelings so that you may share in a manner that is most meaningful for you."

I believe in supporting core spiritual beliefs and personal strengths as well as offering coping skills and strategies to assist in increasing adaptive functioning."

"Imagine sitting by the edge of a river, alone and at peace, surrounded by water and trees, with the mountains in the distance. You are so calm and present that when something triggers an unhappy memory, you can still notice the negative thoughts and feelings that go with the memory, but they don't overwhelm you. You see the unpleasant thoughts and feelings grow smaller as they float away down the river, and you are still here, peaceful and calm and present in your body. My goal is to help you find that kind of peace."

"If you are experiencing inner conflict, unhealthy patterns, or feeling stuck; if you face anxiety, fear, or self-criticism, and you seek change-you've come to the right place. I'd be delighted to help you obtain the tools you need to work toward acceptance, integration, and alignment-toward a more authentic YOU. My skills, and the integrative therapy that I offer, combined with strong intuition, have proven helpful for a wide range of problems and disorders. I will guide you through the barriers, and beyond your struggle, to get to the core of what's holding you back from a more fulfilling life."
