Kristina Cushman

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and open. You can expect a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can share worries and concerns. I welcome and encourage feedback and collaborative communication from my clients. I tend to use humor as a vehicle to dig deeper into topics in a less intense way.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a deep interest in human behavior, our capacity for resilience, and abilities to adapt and change. In our everchanging world, these skills continue to be critical. I believe that we all have an inherent ability to adapt and become the best versions of ourselves with the proper support and skill-building.

My goals for you

I believe that the client-therapist relationship is critical to the therapeutic process and that, together, we can build upon strengths to help you alleviate problem behaviors, feel better, and make lasting changes. Goal setting is a collaborative process, and together we will establish goals that align with your desired outcomes of therapy.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a calm and welcoming space to share your concerns. This is an opportunity to also learn more about me and ask any questions you have about the process. I will ask some questions to get a better sense of what is happening for you, and we will work together to create initial goals for therapy.
