Teletherapy for Sugar House - Salt Lake City, UT

The clientele I specialize in are those who struggle with depression, anxiety, body-image /self-esteem, disordered eating, and OCD. Most importantly, I work with those who struggle with showing themselves compassion and grace as they navigate the hardships that life often presents to them. The clients' primary goal is to create a life that brings them joy and happiness, as well as the self-confidence and knowingness that they can manage hardships and regain control in creating the life that they want.

Navigating through the difficulties in life can often feel overwhelming. The journey of understanding, processing, and healing can seem daunting. You do not have to travel that path alone. If you are looking to move forward with your life, break feelings of being stuck, or better understand your place in the world then therapy can help tremendously. Trauma, crisis, loss, anxiety, and depression are only a few examples of barriers that be overcome within our therapy. Together, we can work to achieve the life that you want to have.

Do you ever feel broken or hopeless? I believe that emotional, psychological, and spiritual difficulties can yield personal growth and a "deep heart," as Dostoevsky puts it. We will explore and honor what it is to suffer, find ways to make meaning from it, and discover new paths to wholeness and healing.

Kristina J. Cottle Feldman, PhD is a licensed psychologist who has worked with neurodiverse clients and their families for fourteen years through assessment, intervention, and research programs. She is passionate about working with autistic individuals and their families and focuses on helping clients alleviate difficulties while celebrating or harboring strengths.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I maintain a "mind-body-environment" perspective to understand how mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health are interconnected and interrelated to our relationships with others, the environment (nature-culture) and ourselves. I recognize that when those elements are imbalanced, it creates symptoms that can lead to suffering. Anxiety and depression, among other mind-body symptoms, are both cause and effect of this imbalance. They are also the cause of feeling stagnant in life, another root of suffering. Therefore, I hope to work with my patients to create balance and find flow in their life.

My treatment approach places an emphasis on the mind-body relationship and is both experiential and pragmatic. I specialize in the treatment of mood and behavior-related disorders as well as culture-based identity conflict. I work with families, adolescents, teens, and individuals to help them develop deeper connections to themselves, and stronger more fulfilling relationships with others, resulting in increased vitality, improved quality of life, and joy. I am honored to partner with you and your family on the journey towards restoration and growth.

***I currently have a waitlist for new patients*** I believe that therapy is a journey to build a better you. Whether that is moving through trauma, exploring and conquering anxiety, learning sports psychology tactics, raising your child (and dealing with the wonderful adolescent drama), fighting addiction, or strengthening your marriage, we're in this together. If you enter my therapy office, you are here to grow. While therapy is a process, it does not have to be a long, drawn out, difficult and treacherous.

Working from a Solution-Focused approach I find that helping clients find alternative ways of handling all they struggles of everyday life.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom," (V. Frankl). My passion is helping disrupt the habitual autopilot of life in order to gain a sense of resiliency, purpose, and vitality. When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.

For the most part we are all walking around pretending to be okay and hoping our positive affirmations, daily meditations, gratitude journal entries and the annoying latest push-up challenge will finally pay off with the bliss, confidence and motivation we see in our imaginary future selves. When in reality we might be feeling the cliché, "Hot MESS", which I will say has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Right? The truth is we all have a core self who wants to be healed and has the power to do it!Yet it is almost impossible to do without true Connection, Compassion and Curiosity of who we really are.

Nobody wants their child to struggle with depression, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. And nobody wants to suffer from out of control emotions and behaviors. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with children, teenagers, and young adults to treat mood disorders and behavior problems by providing the highest quality care, compassionately delivered. With each patient, my goal is to integrate the latest science-backed therapeutic approaches with the individual experiences, needs, and preferences that patients bring to therapy, to co-create a treatment plan tailored to the needs of each patient.

I work in psychedelic research and serve as a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist in clinical trials and in ketamine treatment. I also provide preparation and integration sessions for clients who are considering or are currently working with psychedelic plant medicines or synthetic compounds. I have helped many heal themselves who suffered from depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, addictions, chronic pain, grief, and end of life concerns. I have also worked with clients who are simply looking to develop a deeper connection to themselves, to their loved ones, and to the world around them through a psychedelic experience.
