My work as a counselor is centered on supporting clients in strengthening the connections between themselves and others. I am passionate about helping you discover your power and capacity for positive change. I'm committed to provide quality care to you even if I don't share your background or are unfamiliar with your culture, ethic background, religion, sexual orientation, or otherwise. I am trained to acknowledge areas of potential emotional pain and show willingness to approach the subject with empathy, even if I have never experienced it personally. I strive to bracket my personal beliefs and convictions during our work.
As a therapist who specializes in treating attachment and relationships, I recognize the difficulties clients present with are often informed by past experiences that are inadequately processed and maladaptively stored. I commit to broaching these conversations with respect, empathy and understanding.
I grew up in various places and cultures and strive to stay curious about the world. I find working with people from all walks of life very rewarding and would love the chance to work with you!
Take the first step to help. Kristen Jex now
