My name is Kristi Meade. I’m 37 year old straight married female with two wonderful son. I have been fully licensed as LPC for over 3 years now but have been working in the mental health/substance abuse field for over 6 years now. I recently become National Board Certified Counselor in 1/2024. I currently work full time as an inpatient assessor/therapist at a behavioral health crisis center for over 6 years now. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, substance abuse, etc. My current therapy strategies are using CBT techniques, coping skills, mindfulness, journaling, thought processing, and imagery. My goal is to become more specialized in trauma informed care along with specializing in other modalities to broaden my array of techniques.

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

In our first session which will be intake, I will be asking a lot of questions in order to get the information I need about your situation, life, career, family, etc in order to get to know you better and understand what you are going through.

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

I have been in this field for almost 7 years. I have experienced a lot working at the crisis center during this time. I feel I am a good listener, I care for my clients, and I push them to see their strengths even when they don't.
