About me

Greetings! I’m Kristle Small, a licensed professional counselor serving the vibrant communities of Pennsylvania and Delaware. With over 14 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals, families, and couples to embrace life’s challenges and transform them into opportunities for growth. My background spans community mental health, where I’ve supported clients facing clinical disorders, as well as private practice, focusing on those navigating emotional and mood-related issues. I am truly passionate about guiding people toward their fullest potential, helping them unlock their best selves. Together, we will tackle a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, work stress, relationship challenges, and mood disorders. I thrive on motivating others to set ambitious goals and make impactful choices that enhance their lives. In our sessions, we will build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, addressing the challenges that matter most to you and uncovering any obstacles in your path. As we progress, my commitment is to support you in achieving your aspirations and fostering a balanced, fulfilling life. It is my purpose to help you become your ideal self, guiding you to the life you’ve always envisioned. Let’s embark on this journey together!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session together, we'll begin with brief introductions, then move into the challenges you are experiencing in your life. Together we will create a plan to reduce these challenges and identify coping strategies to help you achieve the goals we have created.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Throughout my 14 years of practicing I have created a unique style to help the clients I serve. I am a great listener, warm, challenging, supportive, funny, and overall passionate about helping the clients I serve.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I enjoy individuals who are motivated to change and just need some assistance in achieving their goals. My clients are eager to improve and willing to make the necessary changes to live a fuller life.
