If you would like to have a free 15-minute consultation to see if I could be a fit for you, you can make an appointment at www.kristenhowertonlmft.com. I'm passionate about helping couples and families thrive. I enjoy working with clients who want to improve their relationships (even divorced couples who are coparenting.) I am experienced with working with autism spectrum, ADHD, infertility, adoption, multi-racial families, divorce mediation, and coparenting. I also have experience working with people struggling with addiction, and those who love them.
I believe that therapy should be tailored to the client and their needs, and not the preferences of the therapist. Therefore I take an eclectic approach, using modalities that are specific to the issues being presented. I draw from psychodynamic theory, family systems, reality therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches.
The best way to reach me is through my website at www.kristenhowertonlmft.com where you can make an appointment for a free consultation. I have telehealth and in-person availability.
