Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Marywood University and have been practicing for 17 years. I have been licensed since 2013. I help adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, self-compassion, anger management and gender dysphoria.

I'm well versed in media, fandoms and seek understanding of client's interests to build rapport and to use analogies that will help to convey ideas shared.

I am passionate serving the LGBTQ population. I have a certification in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

First session

Clients can expect to have a thorough assessment of how they are functioning in all life areas and their environment, as we are all impacted by the people and surroundings we live in. Discussion of strengths and self-care will then be explored which are realistic to each patient.

Strengths

I am an advocate for my clients and try to meet each person for who they are, their stage in their journey and how environmental and family systems impact the ability to function at your best. I keep up with current events, innovations, treatments and laws that will have an impact on my clients. I'm well versed in media, fandoms and seek understanding of client's interests to build rapport and to use analogies that will help to convey ideas shared.

Ideal clients

I love working with adolescents and young adults with anxiety and depression. `I am well versed in working with the LGBTQ community, including individuals with gender dysphoria.

Treatment methods

I'm experienced with helping to explore one's gender identity and how to best manage transition and expectations. Included is seeking of home and community supports, managing gender dysphoria and safety planning.

Trauma-Focused CBT

National certified in TF-CBT. I help addressing trauma reminders, addressing use of coping skills and developing a trauma narrative through a gradual exposure approach to minimize symptoms and discomfort.

Krysten is the first therapist I have ever truly connected with. From the very first session, her warmth, empathy, and genuine attentiveness created a space where I felt truly seen and heard. She has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions—ones that gently push you toward clarity and growth without ever feeling judged.

Krysten has been incredibly helpful in managing my anxiety. She consistently provides thoughtful insights that challenge my perspective in a healthy way, helping me gain understanding of different situations in my life more fully and respond with more clarity. I'm so grateful that she always works with me to suggest strategies on how to deal with these stressful situations.

I think Krysten was nice to work with, but I was looking for a bit more structure at the very beginning of our call.
