Kristi Godwin

My communication style

In our sessions, my goal is to create a calm, safe, and collaborative environment where you can speak freely and feel genuinely heard. I communicate with warmth, empathy, and honesty—offering gentle guidance when needed, and space when reflection feels more important than words.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about how people heal and find meaning after painful experiences. Over the years, I've witnessed how trauma, loss, and life transitions can quietly shape who we become—and how powerful it is when someone feels truly understood for the first time.

My goals for you

I use a combination of unconditional positive regard, DBT, IFS, and EMDR to resolve root issues, negative cognitions, and instill self-regulation tools to face anything life brings.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a sense of safety and trust. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I'll also share a bit about how I work and how we can tailor our sessions.
