If you’re searching for clarity, relief, or simply a safe place to land, you’re in the right place. I’m Dr. Kristen Toole, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Assistant Professor at Xavier University. For over ten years, I have helped individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds navigate life's challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, emphasizing a relational, contextually informed approach to therapy.
I specialize in supporting helping professionals as they navigate demanding work environments and face unique challenges such as self-doubt, anxiety, emotional and mental exhaustion, burnout, compassion fatigue, loss, maintaining work-life balance, and managing complex relationships.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is simple: to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can reconnect with your strengths, find balance, and feel empowered to move forward.
