Hi, My name is Kristel. I am an LCSW who provides talk therapy via Telehealth. I am a multifaceted individual with a deep well of life experiences that inform my perspective. As a former military brat and spouse, I've intimately understood the complexities of life's transitions. My journey has taken me from being a stay-at-home mom to transitioning back into the workforce, granting me a unique appreciation for both roles. I'm a devoted mother of two children, and my path has been marked by significant challenges, including the struggle with infertility and profound grief. I proudly identify as a feminist and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. These aspects of my identity deeply influence my approach to life and work. With a background in working with families, individuals, and children, I bring a wealth of experience. My personal journey has shaped my empathetic, compassionate, and inclusive perspective, which I offer as a source of support and understanding to those I work with.

Call me Ben! I've been in private practice for 5 years and the mental health field at-large for close to a decade. I'm a big advocate for mindfulness (and ACT) and how it can be used alongside and incorporated into the therapeutic relationship to make tremendous strides in addressing one's mental health. I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my wife and our two cats. I love to go hiking and kayaking, am currently learning Spanish and the drums, and love a good gaming session with my friends.

What if you could become a mental gymnast, capable of flexing your mind to navigate challenges with resilience? What if I said that many emotional obstacles arise from a tension between our rational thoughts and the instincts shaped by our life experiences? Mental flexibility is key to resolving this inner conflict and promoting emotional well-being. As a North Carolina-based therapist specializing in mental health and substance use issues, my approach centers on meeting you where you are and establishing a foundation of trust and collaboration. I draw upon a blend of Humanistic, Interpersonal, Cognitive, and Behavioral theories to offer a tailored therapeutic experience. With a background in various settings like outpatient care, hospitals, and corrections facilities, I’ve refined my expertise in treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Taking the initiative to seek help is a brave act of strength that paves the way for transformative change over time. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Maybe she’s born with it! 🧠 Maybe it’s late stage capitalism. ~ you are worth so much more than your productivity. you need rest + care. you are a human being ~ not a human doing. you are allowed to just be ~ A social worker at ❤️‍🔥, my clinical approach is grounded in acknowledging the harm caused by systems of oppression + structural racism. My practice centers intersectional feminist values + disability justice. I am anti-racist + LGBTQIA+ celebratory. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸 As a therapist + human, I recognize + reflect on the privilege I hold + how this has assisted me in navigating the world. The lens I look through may be of interest to you. I am a second generation immigrant settler from Lebanon. I have a Master's education and grew up in a white upper-middle class family. I am a non-binary queer Millennial woman. I am able-bodied, chronically ill and a survivor. I live in the colonized portion of Wabanaki territory now known as Mount Desert Island, Maine. My practice supports gender-diverse + queer individuals with atypical ways of thinking, feeling + relating. I specialize in working with "Talented & Gifted burn-out kids" -- aka late-diagnosed or un-diagnosed Autistic/ADHD hyper-sensitive, self-aware, socially anxious survivors of complex trauma who experience obsessive thoughts, executive dysfunction + sleep disturbances. I vibe with humans who are interested in understanding themselves + how their early childhood experiences shaped their relational patterns today. I would be honored to support you on this journey of ✨unlearning✨🌱
