Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard--feelings of anxiety, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. I have experienced this firsthand and know there are ways to escape the slavery to addiction. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

I admire people who seek therapy for the purpose of gaining insight into their relational issues with self and others. They choose to embrace vulnerability and work steadily to reach their goals. Despite the discomfort and ambiguity of the process, they stay focused on their intention of creating a healthier life. I believe that not every modality works for all. By catering to each client’s specific needs, I utilize the appropriate approach in order to help them move past their struggles and to gain a sense of strength to fulfill their mental health needs.

Every human being is born with the potential for living a satisfying and meaningful life, for having relationships that work, and for experiencing joy and inner peace.

Yet, sometimes despite our best efforts to maintain a positive and constructive life course, we can still find ourselves overwhelmed by life’s pressures and external circumstances. My name is Kristen Torp. I am a licensed MFT therapist, and helping people with their personal traumas, emotional needs, life struggles and relational difficulties is both my focus and my passion.
