Hi! My name is Kristie & I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of PA. I have 9 years experience working with Mental Health & Substance use disorders. I work with individual to be able to identify underlying issues that may be contributing to their current symptoms. Together we can develop goals to help you become a better version of yourself.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session I would like to really get to know why you reached out to a therapist. What are you struggling with? Then we will dive a little deeper by going through an assessment to see if you present with a clinical diagnosis. A brief conversation will happen where we will discuss some goals that you want to achieve in therapy. The second session where we create your Treatment Plan with goals is where we will dive even deeper into this.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Working with individuals who usually have underlying issues contributing to their current symptoms; I can help you identify what may be causing the problem that you are coming to get help with. I am open; non judgmental; and empathetic towards all of my clients. However, I will always challenge you when needed. I will not only discuss the negative things in your life, but also point out the great work you have done through therapy to help motivate you to move forward.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with individuals who are motivated towards making changes in their life. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. Often time they feel stuck & unsure how to feel better. Sometimes they are using substances as a way to cope with depression, anxiety or trauma in their life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used in order to identify negative thinking patters that lead to negative emotions & behaviors. Through the use of CBT we can change the negative thought patterns to make you feel & act in a more positive way.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

Cognitive processing is a form of CBT that is used specifically to treat trauma and PTSD. Through this method we identify your "stuck points" that are preventing you from seeing the world around you in a more positive way.

Motivational Interviewing

You are the expert in your own life & through motivational interviewing I will guide you to develop your own goals & ways to move toward a more positive direction in your life.
