Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Hot Springs County, WY

Welcome! My wife and I founded Kintsugi Counseling in 2021. The term kintsugi represents Japan's ancient art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. For the Japanese, it's part of a broader philosophy of embracing the beauty of human flaws. Kintsugi Consulting and Counseling practice embraces the same philosophy in that life experiences, while some may be difficult, can lead to growth and change. Enjoy less anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms, and increased skills and confidence to live your life more fully.

My name is Karisa and I am so glad you're here! I am excited to announce that I am taking the (slow) leap into private practice! I am currently a provisionally licensed therapist with the State of Wyoming and I anticipate being fully licensed this coming summer. I received my masters degree in 2021 and since then I've had the privilege of working with kids, teens, and adults. I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and substance abuse and I am also EMDR trained.

I believe the search for the right counselor is important and deeply personal. I have a strong value in the therapeutic relationship, and respect the courage it takes to reach out for help. I strive to create a genuine and authentic environment in which we will work together to address any and all issues you may bring to the room. My clients view me as open, engaged, caring, and genuine. I feel confident in helping individuals through unhealed traumas, negative relationship patterns, and finding their path to self discovery. I strive to meet people where they are and together move toward healing

It can feel overwhelming and stressful to find the right counselor for you. I strive to create a genuine, comfortable, and safe environment where we work together to achieve your goals. I bring compassion, understanding, and clinical expertise to our therapy process. I'm inspired to help clients connect to their own internal strength and to find hope and healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and significant life changes. I provide real tools for lasting change. I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients.

Over the past 30+ years, I have had the honor of treating people of all ages from all walks of life. I am a licensed psychologist with experience treating various types of depression, mood difficulties, anxiety, stress, OCD, as well as relationship or couple-related conflict. My approach draws from cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapies supported by research, and is tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. I also offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy for those who want to improve their relationship. Recently retired from UCSB, I offer therapy to students who have the UC SHIP insurance at no cost to them.

Sometimes when we are faced with difficult challenges or changes, we get stuck. I believe we get unstuck by connecting with our authentic selves. As your counselor, I’ll hold the lantern while you find the path home to yourself. I bring life experience and curiosity to my practice, and I like to partner with clients as they seek meaning, purpose, and a way around the obstacles that sometimes block their paths. I’m also interested in memory and story and collaborating with clients to create stories that help them move forward with hope.

"The wound is the place where the light enters you." (Rumi) Suffering is universal. Our suffering invites us to turn within, pay close attention and become more intimate with who we are. Turning within can initiate a process of healing and transformation. Attending to "what is really going on" with a skilled companion offers safe passage through difficult spaces, time to slow down, ways to connect with parts of ourselves that need love and attention. We gently explore: feelings, situations, pain, dilemmas, trauma, longings and dreams. Through collaborative conversation and care, we gain insight and create new ways of being.

Do you have past trauma that you still carry around despite your best efforts to cope? This trauma could be a single event, years of smaller incidents, a negative self- statement that's been with you forever, or a loss of some kind. Sometimes talk therapy doesn't actually solve the core issue and you continue to have overwhelming feelings when it comes up for you. I use a combination of EMDR and Brainspotting to work on these core issues. This can be done as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to talk therapy. Let's change your life!

Teenagers have their own set of struggles including peer pressure, self esteem issues, depression and anxiety. Their hormones are changing as are their bodies and can be a very tough time. Most children under age 6 can't put into words how they're feeling so play therapy is the best way to help them work through their feelings, which I utilize. It's also very important that parents have the skills to help their children through these tough times and I use Love and Logic parenting to help parents learn skills that help everyone in the family.
