Krista Gerdts

My communication style

My communication style is accepting, empathetic, and inquisitive. I create an environment that seeks to understand your story and the thoughts and emotions experienced along with it. Working with me feels like having a supportive and engaging confidant.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always sought to understand the human condition and the ways our thoughts and emotions impact our life story. I began my journey 5 years ago, working with adults and adolescents in Residential and PHP/IOP treatment centers. These experiences solidified my lifelong passion for creating meaningful therapeutic connections.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative in seeking to define what you hope to achieve in therapy. From there, we work together to create a list of short-term and long-term goals that leave you feeling hopeful and motivated.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is an exploration of what initially brought you to therapy. The first session is more about building a connection and seeking to understand the way you have been feeling. This is an opportunity to share what you hope to get out of therapy and for me to answer any questions you have.
