Kristina Luera

My communication style

I am soft-spoken, yet direct and compassionate when communicating with clients. Communication is the key to improving relationships, building rapport, and learning to understand yourself and others.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I naturally have enjoyed listening to the stories of others and learning about their journey to healing. This career has become my passion, learning to understand that every client has their own definition of what success means to them and watching them heal and grow to become a better version of themselves.

My goals for you

Creating goals as a professional and as the client should be a team effort. Developing an understanding of what goals the clients would like to work on and learning about their needs and wants along the way can help create a treatment goal. If things change in the clients life, then adapting the clients goals to meet the clients needs would be done

Our first session

A first session is all about meeting my client and helping them understand the process of therapy. Developing a rapport in the first session is also essential for the therapeutic relationship. This means that we get to know each other during this session. Understanding the expectations of what the client is seeking in therapy can help us begin.
