My name is Kristin Koehler and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have garnered much of my clinical experience working with adolescents, parents, and families in various residential and outpatient treatment programs using a mixture of different therapeutic approaches in order to help clients make progress and start to feel better. I have always been drawn to helping others and enjoy seeing people thrive when they are able to be the best version of themselves. I have found that my style and approach tend to be a good fit for pre-teens and older adolescents who may be navigating emotional, social, and family challenges. I also have a lot of experience working with adults to help them manage mood disorders, work through relationship challenges, and navigate different life transitions while developing skills to help manage stressors more effectively.

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

What clients can expect from me is a non-judgemental space to share what they would like to change and work on. My communication style is calm, direct, and patient. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking to me and to know that they will lead the therapeutic process. I believe you are more likely to reach goals that are achievable and driven by your own wants and needs. This starts with building a trusting therapeutic relationship that will promote a sense of safety and foster openness to change. I believe everyone has the capacity for change when they feel safe and supported enough to do so and enjoy being a part of that journey in whatever capacity I can.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I take an individualized approach to therapy and tailor my strategies to the needs and identified goals of each client. I use a variety of approaches which include cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness practices to help develop a shared understanding with my clients that will guide the therapeutic process.

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

I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field, including work with adolescents in residential treatment, high risk youth and families, teens and adults receiving outpatient community services, and private practice clients. My treatment work with clients has often taken the form of support with managing mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, attention and impulse-control disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, and relationship challenges. I have been licensed for the past 2 years and am currently only accepting clients via telehealth.
