Hi! My name is Kristi Kaapu and I am an LCSW. My focus areas of practice are anxiety, depression, school/work issues, interpersonal difficulties, and trauma.

Compassion is the foundation of my therapeutic work with all clients. It's important to me that you feel respected, cared for, and that you feel better. Challenging life situations, traumatic experiences, and/or dysfunctional family dynamics can cause all of us to feel distressed. Sharing your experiences, feeling validated and listened to, can decrease your emotional pain. Using a relational and client-centered approach, I can address your individual needs. Working together, we can find solutions and tools to help you make lasting changes that ultimately result in you feeling better.

We all experience speed bumps during our life journey. Though it may seem we are "lost, "unsure of, I believe the powers we are looking for are inside YOU! One simply needs to be validated and to strengthen the emotional "muscles" that have grown weak-just as we exercise our bodies and our minds, we must exercise our emotional muscles. I genuinely believe we can not experience long-term health unless we pay close attention to our Mind, Body, and spirit a whole, our humanness. In many instances, it is our voice that is silenced, whether directly or indirectly.

Sometimes, you may experience some life obstacles that lower your quality of living. It helps to talk about your difficulties in psychotherapy so that you may learn the strategies and coping mechanisms to better deal with your difficulties, raise your quality of life, and enjoy your relationships with others. In my practice, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we can discuss these issues and find solutions together. I provide services to individuals (from the toddler to elderly age groups), families, and couples.

Life is full of ups and downs, but sometimes, we get stuck in those downs and forget how to come up for air. If left unattended, we can find ourselves feeling depressed, anxious, stressed out, constantly getting emotionally triggered, and maybe even feel as if the relationships in our lives are suffering. However, we don't have to live there forever and we can learn to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel - and I can help you with that.

I offer both in person and online therapy.
Reaching out can be difficult, but you can rest assured your privacy is protected and secure in therapy. Everyone deserves a safe place to unpack life's challenges and hardships with support. Having the right therapist is critical to the process. My style is lovingly honest in order to best serve you. It is my philosophy that therapy can be like going to the gym...if you don't feel it- you probably aren't changing much. It is my job to both support and challenge in areas that will facilitate growth. Often times much of my work is centered around supporting clients on becoming more mindful and breaking old patterns.

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Children and teens face the difficult challenge of expressing and modulating emotions in an adult-focused world. The expectations and pressure are sometimes overwhelming. Stress and distress also impact adults, especially during these unprecedented times. Utilizing client strengths, relationship themes, and self-regulation techniques, I help clients learn to cope effectively instead of suppressing feelings or self-medicating. Together, we can identify problem thoughts and behaviors, how they were historically adaptive, why they are maladaptive now, and how to make positive changes for the future.
