Are you looking for a safe space to explore and work on making changes (big or small)? My name is Kristina and I can help you explore and manage your emotions. Collaboratively we will create a treatment plan and use a self-compassionate, empathetic and open approach while utilizing various therapeutic tools to help you meet your goals! I believe in tailoring the therapeutic approaches to each client (YOU) which starts by forming a strong therapeutic relationship. I use compassion-focused, trauma-informed, client-centered, humanistic techniques but do not shy away from utilizing cognitive behavioral and dialectic behavior therapy skills when applicable.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will go at the pace you feel most comfortable with - it is very important to me that you are feeling comfortable and able to connect with me.
I have received extra training working with people identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, grief communities, trauma and anxiety related disorders.
I really enjoy working with individuals who are looking for an environment to grow, process and participate while receiving compassionate and empathic care. My clients often struggle with increased anxiety and have experienced trauma or adverse events.
I pull from many different areas of treatment methods such as trauma focused CBT, DBT and ACT. I am also well versed in the usage of Polyvagal approaches and am trained in EMDR. I consider myself a Humanist at heart and believe in the collaboration and relationship with my clients as the core foundation of successful treatment. I often utilize humor in treatment and find that to be very connecting and healing.

Dr. Holt-Reber is incredible! She is open-minded, patient, challenging, and empowering. I like that she has a variety of tools and techniques available for me to use in our sessions to work through what I bring to her.
