Kristin Walker, LCSW

Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy with emphasis in Play Therapy | Mental Health Therapist

Hello! I'm Kristin, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping people become their most true selves.  As a person-centered therapist, I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to reach their fullest potential and live their best life with the right support and environment. My aim is to support you in finding your inner strength and healing to make this possible in your own life.

With a strong foundation in our true selves, we are able to walk boldly into the life we desire, rather than simply reacting to the world around us. Integration with our true selves is a journey that I've personally traveled as both a therapist and an individual

As an experienced therapist with my Masters in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from John Brown University, I have learned a lot about how to support the life of an individual including children and families. Many of us carry the weight of untreated trauma, preventing us from living life to the fullest. My goal is to help you shed that weight and rediscover your inner resources. With specialized training in trauma treatment, including EMDR, CPP, TF-CBT, and PCIT, I am equipped to help clients of all ages. As a Registered Play Therapist, I also have extensive training in play therapy, in addition to brief solution-focused therapy, and expressive therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs; so whether you are grappling with stress, anxiety, or trauma, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can grow. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and empowering space whereby every individual has the power to heal. I'd be honored to join you on your journey!
