Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor
Kristan Sanders, LGPC
Hi, I’m Kristan!
I believe strongly in meeting you where you are and working with your natural resilience to help you meet your goals. I seek to provide a safe, laid back space where you can explore difficult issues as well as celebrate the wonderful achievements in your life.
A little bit about me:
I started my career in the medical field, but was dismayed at how little time I got to spend with my patients. I believe true healing is fostered through true connection and it is very important to me to be able to provide that for everyone I work with. In addition to a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, I value cognitive and behavioral therapy as well as mindfulness because these practices have made a tremendous impact on my own life.
Kristan’s Specialties
What you can expect from me:
I have experience working with adults on issues including (but not limited to) the family system, school, friendships, relationships, boundaries, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, and mood management. I also have a background working with survivors of intimate partner violence and provide a safe space to explore trauma. I will walk with you to understand how abusive tactics have impacted your life; creating a cycle that affects your thoughts, emotions, body, and behaviors.
When I’m not in session you can find me playing with my son and my dog and enjoying time outside.
