kristina sargent, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm kristina!

I specialize in working with children and adults who have experienced trauma or adjustment-related stress and anxiety. You deserve to find a therapist who is a good fit for you—someone you like and are comfortable with. I am committed to taking the time to build that relationship.

My focus

It is an honor to partner with survivors of trauma and individuals experiencing anxiety to co-create supportive spaces where healing can happen. I am committed to coming alongside you in your journey and moving at your pace. I work with children who need support with big feelings, learning new skills, and working through tough life events.

My approach

Whether it be a stressor from the past that feels like it just happened yesterday, or an ongoing anxiety that has been around so long you can't remember life without it, I am here for you. I utilize EMDR and mindfulness-based approaches to help you understand your symptoms and move towards recovery.

My communication style

You can expect me to show up with patience, creativity, and nonjudgmental listening as you express what you need to. I believe in the importance of using communication and safe spaces to build trust and understanding. With children, I use play, art, and humor to make therapy a place where they can feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

An artist at heart, I have experienced the importance of using creativity and nonjudgmental spaces to express and process life. I have always been curious about the impact of trauma and stress on people of all ages, and I am committed to partnering with individuals and families as they heal and connect to their true selves.

My goals for you

Goals are all about how you want your life to look and how therapy can help you get there. You deserve to feel like yourself again, even if that was so long ago. You are not alone, and there is hope!

Our first session

In our first session, I will hear from you about what brings you to therapy, then we will co-create goals and start to build a trusting relationship. With children, trust and understanding matter just as much. Play therapy allows children to express themselves and process in the language that makes the most sense for them.
