Kristen Atwood

My communication style

I use clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I use active listening and encourage reflection so you feel heard and understood throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being in the foster care system and being adopted at a young age instilled in me a desire to help others build healthy relationships and identify their emotions and how to cope with them. Overcoming these challenges made me want to help others do the same.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership, and together the client and I collaborate to create goals. Throughout therapy, the goals can change, and we can add and modify goals as needed. My job is to support you and provide you with the tools you need to be successful.

During the first session, we get to know each other. We will discuss your history and what brings you to therapy.
