Therapists in Kentucky

Hello, and welcome! My name is Crystal, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I believe every person deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and live a life that aligns with their values. Whether you are working through past trauma, managing overwhelming emotions, or facing difficult life transitions, I am committed to helping you build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, strengthen self-confidence, and create realistic goals that support your long-term well-being. My approach is personalized to meet your unique needs because no two individuals share the same journey. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you can safely process challenges, celebrate progress, and develop the tools needed to become the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, personal growth, and a more fulfilling future.

I'm a 54-year old grandfather, author, outdoorsman, and reader of books. I enjoy flying, biking, jogging, and visiting new places. I am a blogger with a wide range of interests.

The thing I enjoy the most is learning about other people and coming to appreciate each person's personal story.

Hi, I’m Marie — a therapist who believes that change is always possible, no matter where you are in life. My goal is to help you feel better emotionally, think more clearly, and move toward a future that feels fulfilling and peaceful. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand what’s been holding you back and find practical ways to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts affect your emotions and actions—and teach you tools to shift negative thinking. I also use a solution-focused approach, which means we’ll focus on your strengths, celebrate what’s working, and create small, realistic steps that bring real progress. I often work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or major life changes—like adjusting after a loss, a new diagnosis, or changes that come with getting older. My approach is supportive and empowering. I want you to feel heard, encouraged, and equipped with the tools to handle life’s challenges with more confidence and hope. As an immigrant and a bilingual therapist speaking both English and French, I understand the importance of culture, identity, and belonging.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm.

Break the generational cycles that compromise your clarity and presence. I provide a framework to navigate the 'unwritten rules'—the inherited expectations and family scripts—that drive burnout.
