Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, caught in cycles of stress, anxiety, past experiences, or relationship patterns they want to change. They might be used to holding it all together, but inside they often feel overwhelmed, lost, or that they aren't doing enough. My approach is holistic, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and authenticity.
Together, we'll explore what’s beneath these patterns and begin to shift them in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. I work especially well with clients navigating that feeling of being both “too much” and “not enough.”

My name is Kris Godinez, LPC. Counseling is a journey, a journey that can and frankly should have a healthy dose of humor in it! If you are looking for one of those "blank screen" counselors who do and say. nothing, I'm not that kind of counselor. Yes, counseling is serious business, but it does not have to be dull. I find that when people are laughing and learning they tend to retain what they have learned. I use CBT and a lot of humor! I also tend to swear like a sailor, so if that is a problem, let me know, and I will try not to drop the F-bomb so much!

If you feel anxious most of the time, stuck in your head, or constantly second-guessing yourself, you’re not broken. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions and unsure how to calm their body or mind, even when they understand what’s going on logically. You might notice anxiety that never fully shuts off, grief that lingers longer than you expected, or moments where you feel disconnected or numb. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found yourself talking a lot and understanding a lot, but not actually feeling much different.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school.

This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
