Hello, I’m Kristin Moreland, LISW-S. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complex dynamics of relationships—whether that’s co-parenting, healing from trauma, strengthening communication, or reconnecting with themselves and others. My approach is grounded in authenticity, reflection, and emotional growth. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Together, we focus on rebuilding clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I believe therapy should feel both safe and practical—helping you understand your story, gain insight into your emotions, and practice strategies that make real-life change possible. The impact I see most often is clients developing healthier relationships—learning to communicate with intention, set boundaries with confidence, and create more peace in their daily lives.

I also love working with couples in a new stage of their relationship (pre-marital, considering divorce, What to expect Early sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. Many clients report gaining clarity about their priorities and goals and experiencing increased self‑acceptance and peace within the first few sessions.

I tend to thrive in crisis. Ideal with the toughest cases of trauma, shootings, cults abductions, and domestic violence. I have been able to help so many veterans as well over the past 12+ years in my positions with US Service Animals, Simple, Practice, Grow Therapy and other telehealth platforms. I was an early adopter of telehealth and I have seen it. Make such a difference for so many people because of the comfort that is brought by being able to open up in an environment you know is safe, your own home/space. I take a solutions focused and a client centered approach. I am also insight oriented. I have a lot of insight when it comes to dealing with physical pain and disabilities as I have a visual disability since very young and suffered a TBI at age 24. I like to focus on what issues you are having and come up with coping mechanisms that will work for you. Dealing with the struggles I have had throughout my life has helped me work with people and develop creative and effective coping mechanisms for their specific issues. I have now lived and worked in several states with varying cultures and have benefited from all of these experiences. I have spent a lot of time in a hospital and work well with nurses and medical professionals as well. Please reach out if you think I can help and I will meet you where you are and see where we can go from here.
