Kristy Lamar

My communication style

I prioritize creating a calm, supportive space where open communication is encouraged. I desire to be a listening ear that can thoughtfully reflect what I hear and offer feedback that is honest and respectful. Whether we’re sitting with a tough emotion or celebrating a small win, my goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the mental health field by a strong desire to help others work through difficult times and find a greater sense of peace and purpose. That calling led me to earn my MSW from the University of Southern California, where I deepened my understanding of how meaningful support can create real, lasting change.

My goals for you

Beginning with our first session, I will encourage a partnership where we work together to put a name to what you want to achieve and how we will begin to move you in that direction. We will continue to work toward assessing your goals, including where you are in your journey, and if we will need to add or make adjustments to them.

Our first session

Our first session will lay the groundwork for our work together. It will include time for both of us to get acquainted and determine how we will work together. We will talk about what brought you into treatment and what you are hoping to achieve in our work together. We’ll talk about your current challenges, some of your history.
