Kristin Pashia

My communication style

I have a very empathic, kind communication style while also being direct and highlighting things that need attention. I can have serious conversations and also find relief in humor and lightness. I strive to be a person you can bring your whole self to without concern of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked in non-profit social services, starting as a community mental health therapist and working as a case manager prior. The challenges, humanity, and resilience I witnessed greatly prepared me to be a well-rounded and empathic clinician who takes into consideration the impact of trauma and your personal experiences.

My goals for you

First, I want to get to know you. After building rapport, I want to find out what has worked for you in the past in setting and achieving goals, what your barriers have been, and what you're ultimately looking for in therapy. Each approach I take is very client-centered and specific to you.

Our first session

In the first session, I want to set a space where you feel you can share openly what you're feeling, what brings you to therapy, and what relevant history feels important to share. The first few sessions are for me to get to know you and for you to find out about my therapeutic style and if it feels like a good fit.
