New to Grow
My name is Karston Cole. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and I have spent my career assisting men in achieving their goals, making lasting and fulfilling relationships, and facing life's challenges head-on. I have worked with clients across the lifespan to address concerns about relationships, behaviors, substance use, and more. I employ evidenced, values-based treatment strategies to address your concerns and meet your goals.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You can expect to spend your first session with me highlighting goals and identifying strengths, values, and barriers. Clients will explore their beliefs and values to develop a personal roadmap.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I help clients identify what is important to their unique lives and stories and assist them in creating a narrative of empowerment and purpose.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with clients who want to overcome challenges and improve performance in their personal life, relationships, and careers. I have spent my career working with men who are navigating how to change their behaviors and unhelpful beliefs about themselves, others, and the world, and who are seeking to fully engage in their lives and relationships. I want to work with clients who are motivated, vital, and interested in improving their lives and relationships.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our sessions we will work to identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors work together in your life. We will identify and implement practical, everyday skills to address your concerns.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Through values-based exploration we will identify what is important to you, and how you can continue to move towards your goals despite challenges and distractions.
Narrative
Clients are encouraged to write their own story and captain their own ship. The stories we tell about ourselves shape our now, and our future. In our sessions clients will be empowered to shape their reality and create meaningful change.
