Are you tired of being the emotional project manager in your relationships? Do you find yourself over-explaining, over-giving, or over-functioning for people you love? Are you the peacekeeper… even when it costs you your voice? Do you stay calm on the outside while mentally writing resignation letters from relationships? Well hello — I’m really glad you’re here. If you’re the woman who looks capable on the outside but feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or quietly exhausted on the inside, you’re in the right place. I’m Katrina, a Christian therapist who works with high-achieving women navigating relationship shifts, workplace stress, and the pressure of holding it all together. My work blends evidence-based approaches like Compassion-Focused Therapy and CBT with faith-centered values, creating a space where you don’t have to choose between emotional healing and your spiritual beliefs. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you slow down, set healthier boundaries, untangle the mental noise, and reconnect with who you are beneath the expectations and responsibilities. This is a place where you can stop performing, be honest, and feel supported as you move toward clarity, peace, and purpose. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands both your ambition and your faith, I’d love to walk alongside you. Let’s turn survival mode into sustainable growth — and help you feel grounded, confident, and hopeful again. Schedule an appointment today, and let’s take the next step together.

My name is Kim. I have been an LMFT clinician for 20+ years, worked at non-profits (3 years, including facilitating court ordered domestic violence & anger management classes), county behavioral health (9 & 1/2 years), taught psychology at Heald College (1 & 1/2 years) and have been in private practice (10 + years). I am a father of 5 (40's to one still in high school), lost 2 of them to Cystic Fibrosis (my 2nd and 3rd children-ages 28 and 35 years), a professional musician, artist, photographer, gardener, woodworker, etc. Lots of hobbies. Married twice and the 2nd is still intact almost 3 decades later. I have a wide range of treatments I've trained in and used, seen folks from 3 years to folks in their 70's, every race and lots of cultures, straight/bi/gay/trans, all socioeconomic levels, individuals, couples, families, & groups, and have covered a wide range of diagnosis and treatments from mild to severe. Today I don't really do the little children anymore but I have done a lot of that work in the past. Now its early adolescents and up. Lots of parenting. I don't hide who I am and I am real. I am in the helping profession and I take that very seriously. I am human myself, have done therapy myself, and I believe in the process. If I can help you, I will do my best to accomplish doing that. If I can't, I will tell you that as well.

I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without judgment. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MI, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.

Hi, thanks for stopping by my page. I’m an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and have had the privilege of working with clients for the past five years.

Hello, I’m Dr. Crystal Bender-Hester, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed strategies, and solution-focused techniques to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and create healthier patterns in their daily lives and relationships. I believe therapy should feel empowering, culturally sensitive, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. For clients who desire it, I can also incorporate a spiritual or faith-based perspective into the therapeutic process as part of a holistic approach to healing and emotional wellness. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools that promote long-term emotional wellness and personal growth.

For as long as I can remember, I have been guided by a deep curiosity and an intuitive attunement to the inner life. Through the lens of the Enneagram Eight, softened and informed by the heart-centered wisdom of the Two, I have felt a persistent call toward creativity, advocacy, and soulful service. From an early age, I sensed a vocation to walk alongside others as they remember and embody their true nature. At twelve, I consciously answered this call as a Healer, and since then, my path has unfolded through continual inquiry, learning, and practice—expressed as an artist, a devoted companion, a counselor, and a kitchen herbalist. Each role is a living dialogue with all the parts of me, in service of integration, wholeness, and becoming.

I’m glad you’re here. I believe therapy begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported.

In addition to this, I might use EMDR to treat these issues when clinically appropriate. I am also EMDR certified.

I frequently use metaphors, storytelling, and practical examples to help make difficult concepts easier to understand and create meaningful change. My experience has taught me that every person's story is unique. I don't simply treat symptoms—I work to understand the whole person, including how childhood experiences, relationships, trauma, and the nervous system continue to shape life today. I have extensive experience treating PTSD, complex trauma, and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and I also bring personal insight into the recovery process from TBI. Additionally, I am both personally and professionally familiar with the challenges faced by Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) and individuals raised in dysfunctional families. I understand the lifelong impact these experiences can have on self-worth, relationships, boundaries, and emotional well-being, as well as the work required to heal the wounded inner child while building a peaceful, authentic adult life. I believe therapy should be both supportive and transformative. I will meet you with compassion, but I will also encourage you to do the work that creates lasting change. My clients often describe me as part therapist, part coach, and part cheerleader—I celebrate your successes, help you navigate setbacks, and gently challenge you when old patterns keep you stuck. My goal is to create a safe, trusting relationship where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to move forward with confidence.

Welcome to my professional practice focused on providing emotional support. Navigating the complexities of life can be challenging, and seeking assistance is a testament to personal strength. As a licensed therapist, I specialize in working with couples, families, and individuals, addressing psychological issues such as emotional distress and relational dynamics. I offer both Christian counseling and secular therapeutic modalities, creating a secure environment for clients to express their emotions and foster healthier interpersonal connections. My methodology is rooted in evidence-based practices aimed at managing anxiety, facilitating life transitions, and processing past traumas. Together, we will work on enhancing self-awareness and implementing strategies for positive behavioral change, ultimately paving the way for a more satisfying and enriched life experience. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!
