To Healing
Kristen Chrisenbery, LMFT
Hello, I'm Kristen. My passion lies in helping adults, adolescents, and parents navigate life's complexities with greater awareness and calm. I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy, weaving together neuroscience with a variety of compassionate, psychological approaches to create a personalized path toward mental health and wellness. Together, we can help you cultivate more resilience and discover lasting wellbeing.
Therapy for Adults, Adolescents, and Parents
For the past 25 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, adolescents, and families as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I recognize the immense courage inherent in reaching out for therapeutic guidance. It's a significant step, and because of that, my top priority is to create a safe, compassionate space where we can work together toward your goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, relationship or parenting hurdles, chronic illness, spiritual crisis or significant life transitions such as divorce, I'm here to support you.
As a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, I strive to offer a steady, calm presence, guiding you as you navigate your path toward a greater sense of authenticity, compassion, freedom, and joy in your life.

Therapy For Adults
In my work with adults, my focus is to create a supportive space to explore your unique life challenges, gain insights, and develop new patterns of relating to your thoughts and feelings as well as to those around you. It is possible to cultivate greater levels of peace, wholeness, and joy in your life. I would be honored to partner with you in your healing process.
Therapy For Adolescents
It is generally considered harder to be a teenager today than it ever has been. Between social media pressures, cyberbullying, academic expectations, and information overload, it can be such a challenging time. It can also be a very exciting time! I have a passion for connecting with teens and creating a safe space for them to feel heard, validated, and to learn the skills necessary to improve their mental health and find their authentic path forward.
Parenting Support Therapy
Parenthood is not for the faint of heart, is it? It’s been said that “having a child is like having your heart walking around outside your body.” We bring so many hopes and dreams to our parenting journey and sometimes it can look very different than we anticipated. To do it well, we must cultivate parental self-awareness, presence, and emotional self-regulation. I’m here to support you.
Incorporating Mindfulness
It is inevitable that there will be pain and struggle in life. Mindfulness offers us a scientifically proven way to decrease the additional suffering we frequently experience due to the patterns of our minds. Through mindfulness, we train the mind to become less reactive and entangled in thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
