Teletherapy for Lehi, UT

Teens: I didn’t start working with teens, it sort of happened organically. Now, several years later, I just had the mother of one of my clients tell me she waited several months to get her kid into “The Teen Whisperer”. I had to laugh as that was the first time I had heard that. My wife and I have a blended family with 8 kids. I LOVE working with teens and helping them achieve their ultimate potential. Teens are open to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and they are very curious. Let me help your teen get on the right track! I work with teens with depression, anxiety, struggling with grades and social challenges.

I believe therapy doesn't have to be serious and intense in order to be effective. I appreciate being able to laugh (or cry) with my clients and I work to bring my most authentic self to sessions. I enjoy helping clients learn more about themselves and why they do the things they do. I am both direct and kind as I work to help clients build new skills, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, achieve their goals and anything else that brings them to therapy.

Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal journey, one that requires trust, empathy, and compatibility. Embarking on the journey of seeking therapy takes immense courage and vulnerability. It's a testament to your strength and resilience that you've recognized the need for support and are taking proactive steps towards healing. I understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but please know that you're not alone on this path. In therapy, you'll find a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts, feelings, and struggles. It's a place where you're heard, understood, and validated.

It has been my great fortune to provide psychological counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families on the Wasatch Front for many years. I have discovered that psychotherapy works best when provided in a supportive and accepting environment. I take an active role; yet believe that respect and collaboration are critical in the therapeutic process. Through collaboration, we will work together to find ways of reducing stress and anxiety in your life, while also establishing new ways to cope with difficulties that are consistent with your personal values and beliefs.

I am the founder of the Igniting Change movement and counseling office. Our focus is on removing barriers to emotional healing, like shame and negative beliefs, to ignite positive change and connection to our best selves and others. As a therapist, I specialize in helping youth and adults to overcome compulsive behavior (i.e., "process addiction") and trauma. I believe that as we ignite loving, genuine relationships and heal from past scars, we become our best selves and lead happy, fulfilled lives.

Therapy is a healing process I am honored to experience with my clients. I often treat people experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, postpartum depression, PTSD or other trauma related issues including sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse, divorce issues, forgiveness, and/or other relationship issues. We work together to help you develop the skills and tools you need to overcome difficulties and find contentment and peace. I believe the healing and growth of a client is supported in a therapeutic relationship of genuineness, compassion, caring, and unconditional positive regard.

Accepting new clients! Be yourself with me- My clients describe me as accepting, calming and insightful. I have extensive experience working with teens, adults, couples and LGTBQ+. We know how hard it is to struggle with mental health. If you experienced trauma as a child, are someone who's social anxiety makes it hard to make friends, or someone who struggles to get out of bed due to feeling sad or overwhelmed, we can help! Together, we can explore just about any life problem, with goals of increasing your self-confidence, improving connection with your partner/friends, and experiencing greater levels of happiness & acceptance.

Are you struggling with anxiety and/or depression? Are you a people pleaser and want to learn to how to set boundaries? Have you experienced mistreatment or trauma from others in the past or present and find it difficult to move forward? Perhaps you struggle to love yourself or even like yourself? If you have felt discouraged or hopeless, I can help guide you to finding resolution, healing and peace as we work through your challenges and struggles.

Sometimes, life can feel heavy. The day-to-day can be overwhelming making it seem impossible to feel peace. Creating balance in all aspects of our lives can seem out of reach. Family, work, school and other responsibilities leave us feeling stressed, depressed, inadequate and unable to receive the happiness that we deserve. Perhaps, for you, the road has already been long and winding as you have been navigating hurdles that seem insurmountable. You are not alone. There are answers to the questions you seek.

I understand that when we meet for the first time you won’t be on your A game. That’s ok. I’m ready to give you and your family the benefit of the doubt and meet you right where you are at. I believe those things you may label as weakness or failure make sense in light of what you have been through. Don’t give up! Growth, change and healing are possible. I’ve experienced them in my own life, and I am privileged to watch them unfold in the lives of others every day.

Are you living with children throwing tantrums and melting down over every small thing? Do you feel like giving up each morning before the day has even started? Parenting is tough stuff, especially when you feel like you’ve tried everything; your parents’ style, your neighbor’s advice, even reading a few recommended books. It can feel like everybody else is parent of the year and you didn’t get the message.

Navigating life isn't as easy as it looks sometimes. Depression, anxiety, and abuse are more common than people think. Family issues, partner issues, sudden behavioral changes, unexpected life adjustments, they all can have an impact on how we perceive life. Our perception often becomes our reality and sometimes our reality feels stuck. Rewriting your story can be a release from the past as much as writing a new chapter in life can be the change people seek. You have strengths to use against your limitations and parts of yourself that need attending.

In life, individuals encounter a multitude of challenges that may require more extensive support than what friends and family can offer. These challenges do not signify brokenness but rather the need for professional guidance and trust to navigate difficult times. Kristin, is here to collaborate with you, aiding in the discovery of your strengths and the development of new tools to overcome these obstacles.
