Therapists in South Hamilton, MA

As a Licensed Therapist, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals, helping them to recognize their full potential. I believe therapy to be an investment in your own happiness and aim to create an environment that will make you enthusiastic about therapy and the commitment to developing a more authentic relationship with yourself and others. Therapy can be a powerful and exciting experience. I offer therapy to individuals, couples, and families. Together, we will identify problematic beliefs/behaviors/feelings and work towards surrendering destructive habits/thoughts/feelings that no longer serve you, causing emotional difficulties and/or personal problems.

I believe that every person deserves a therapist they feel understood and supported by. I provide a compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental approach. I offer In-Person, Video or Phone Sessions and support clients to discover and use their inner strengths and values to develop positive solutions - whether struggling with a long-time chronic issue or with an adjustment to a difficult life event or crisis. I offer both brief and longer-term therapy as appropriate. I believe that committing to work through life's challenges can often result in unimaginable joy and meaning.

Therapy is an act of strength, hope, and resiliency. Even the happiest and most well-adjusted people may encounter problems resulting from unexpected life challenges and demands. My goal is to work in collaboration and partnership with my clients to bring about positive changes, growth, and healing from past painful events. I have 15 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist. I received both my Master's degree and Continued Advanced Graduate Study Degree in Counseling Psychology from Cambridge College. I am also certified as a cognitive behavioral therapist from Boston University School of Social Work.

I enjoy working with adults from all diverse backgrounds. In individual sessions I help those presenting with depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD, issues with sexuality, LGBTQ, grief and loss, parenting issues, women's issues, and challenges involving interpersonal relationships.

**Accepting new clients** Email: Kristyn@krinchiuso.com Licensed in MA and CT. I am a LICSW and a Certified Yoga Instructor. I specialize in treating all types of trauma and anxiety.

I use a combination of different treatment methods including CBT, trauma informed therapy, somatic therapies, motivational interviewing and ERP. I incorporate alternative therapies such as meditation, mindfulness, and elements of yoga practices. I wholeheartedly believe in the body mind connection.

I have seven years of experience working in the mental health field with varying populations and ages, largely working with individuals, children, and families who have experiences with trauma, anxiety, and depression. If you are looking for support with making sense of a trauma, coping with anxiety and daily stress, wanting to process life relationships, hoping to understand yourself better, or seeking support with overall mind and body well being, I am here to help.

As inherently social beings, I believe that we learn to love and accept ourselves, gain self awareness, and form a strong self-concept through our connections with others. As such, I consider the psychotherapeutic relationship and process to be of vital importance in working through any barrier that holds us back from enjoying a meaningful and fulfilling life. True healing happens in connection with others through trust, vulnerability and being seen and accepted for who we are at our core. It’s not about changing who we are but about learning how to use our inherent strengths to care for ourselves and reach our full potential.

The people who come to me tend to be those having difficulty in relationships; those dealing with life transitions (e.g., divorce, illness, marriage, moves, changes in work or studies); and those experiencing loss, trauma, anxiety. or depression. Psychotherapy often involves addressing the fear, denial, avoidance, and other obstacles that prevent us from constructively attending to psychological pain and from leading a life that is true to who we are and to how we want to be in the world. I work best with people who are open to change and who are willing to consider their resistance to change.
