Hi. I am Kristel Byrd, LCSW. Are you feeling down or stuck? I'm a neurodivergent therapist who works with couples, teens, parents, women empowerment, LGBTQIA+, ADHD, and kink communities. I’m passionate about helping you find peace and reach your full potential. My approach is eclectic, compassionate, and judgment-free, specializing in communication, intimacy, trauma, healing, and self-awareness.
When you work with me, I meet you where you are, focusing on what’s happening in your life and relationships right now while also exploring how your past shapes your present. Whether you're an individual or a couple, I create a supportive, gender-affirming space where we can dig deep together.
I genuinely care about your empowerment, well-being, and journey towards change. Your feelings may seem complex or challenging, but they're valid. Reaching out for therapy is a significant step. I want you to feel safe and supported in this process. My unbiased perspective offers a safe space for expression of your story, your struggles, and your experience.
Take the first step to help. Call or Kristel Byrd now - (252) 427-0449
