Hi, I'm Kris Recendez, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, my approach to therapy is centered around you, the client. I believe in creating. safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thought, emotions, and experiences. My role is to support you in discovering your own strengths, values, and solutions. Together, we will work collaboratively to help you gain insights, promote personal growth, and achieve your therapeutic goals. I utilize multiple modes of therapeutic interventions (talk, play, art, etc.) in treatment planning to help better assess and treat each individual adult, child, adolescent, and family’s needs. Treatment is designed to address the specific concerns of each individual; and is flexible to address multiple areas of needed growth and development. I conduct individual, family, marriage/couple, and group therapy with adults, children, and adolescents ages 4 to 99.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
With my person-centered approach to therapy, you can expect to take away several valuable things: 1. Self-Awareness: Through open and non-directive conversations, you will gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You will become more aware of your own experiences and how they impact your life. 2. Empowerment: My client-centered approach fosters a sense of empowerment within the client. You will learn to trust your own judgment, make choices aligned with your values, and take responsibility for your growth and well-being. 3. Emotional Support: You will receive genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard, creating a safe space where you can openly express yourself without fear of judgment. This support will enable you to feel heard, validated, and understood. 4. Personal Growth: By exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, you can identify patterns, gain new perspectives, and develop coping strategies. This promotes personal growth, leading to enhanced self-esteem, resilience, and overall well-being.
