Hi there, I'm Kristin!
I’m Kristin Petersen, and I’ve been a psychotherapist for over 13 years. Throughout my career, my work has taken me through a variety of settings and experiences, allowing me to develop a deep appreciation for the unique stories, strengths, and challenges that each person brings to therapy.
My focus
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating complex issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and co-occurring diagnoses. My professional background includes working with diverse cultures, which has strengthened my belief in the importance of understanding each person’s experiences within their personal context.
My approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in authenticity. I believe that healing begins with trust and open communication, and therapy works best when it’s a partnership. We’ll explore challenges, identify patterns, and build on strengths to create lasting change. I emphasize honesty, compassion, and a sense of shared purpose.
