Kristin Danner
I help individuals manage chronic mental health conditions, and also assist clients who are having difficulty managing or resolving problems of everyday life. Sometimes we feel stuck and overwhelmed in our current life situations. We will focus on managing your symptoms, and then dive deeper into addressing the root causes.
I help individuals manage chronic mental health conditions, and work with those who are feeling stuck and overwhelmed in their current life situations.
We will work together on resolving these challenges to help you heal, feel more comfortable with yourself, and work towards a happier and more meaningful life.
First session
I will help you feel comfortable talking about your current situation by providing a safe and judgment-free space. We will collaborate on a comprehensive and individualized plan of care. As you progress through therapy, we will work towards achieving your goals and review your progress along the way.
Strengths
Helping you feel safe, comfortable, understood, seen, empowered, and hopeful.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We will develop strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and self-limiting behaviors that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. CBT can also significantly reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Problematic situations can leave you feeling sad, anxious, angry, confused, or stuck. We will explore your goals and strengths, and work towards a solution to help you achieve peace of mind.
Motivational Interviewing
If you are concerned about increased alcohol or drug use, or other addictions, we will work on strategies for reducing harm and risk to your well-being. Whether you are thinking about cutting back or achieving abstinence, I will help to motivate you and provide you with tools to reach your goals and improve your health, safety, and quality of life.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Trauma can be debilitating and cause a person to feel stuck in their thoughts and feelings about past experiences. Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma will help you to move forward with stability and renewed purpose.
Attachment-based
Our early experiences with caregivers shape the way we experience adult relationships. Disorganized attachment styles can result in maladaptive ways of viewing ourselves and others. Attachment-based therapy focuses on healing the emotional wounds from early relationships and eliminating codependent behavior patterns. This work fosters the healing that is required to have healthy adult relationships.
