Kristen Smith

Great therapest!!!

Kristen has been a huge help to my son as he's been navigating a major life change. I am very grateful to her for managing to get him to open up, and would recommend her to anyone needing a great therapist for their teen.

Kristen is an extremely thoughtful listener and poses questions that allow me to reflect in new ways. I'm glad to be working with her and would recommend to any that are curious about therapy, etc.

I completely trust Kristen and her approach suits me perfectly.
I never feel I can’t approach a subject and her style is both warm and supportive without judgement

Kristen is sensitive, understanding and gentle. She applies a holistic approach; looking at different aspects of your life to help you gain confidence in whatever you are facing. She has empowered me to speak for others when they can’t speak for themselves and encouraged me to make a difference in those around me. Thank you Kristen! If you would like to see drastic phenomenal changes in your life, get therapy with Kristen. You will not regret it!

Kristen is kind, thoughtful and offers good practical ideas to help.

Kristen is amazing! Super insightful and always timely in responses and even proactively reaches out in between sessions. Highly recommend!

Kristen is an amazing therapist and has been very helpful to me. It is my first time really in therapy as I’ve always shot away from the idea and I’m glad that I stepped into the unknown of trusting a stranger because it has been hugely beneficial. I highly recommend her and this sort of support for anyone considering it.

Working with Kristen has been so helpful in improving my mental health and over all wellbeing. Her vast profile covered the areas that I needed help with . She has been able to help me connect the dots from my past experiences to how it impacts my life today. In providing me talk therapy, resources and tools, I am able to overcome my challenges. I feel confident that when I am done walking through my healing journey, I will have the knowledge and skills to over come future hurdles. Thank you Kristen!!!

It has been great to have Kristen to help me get through this difficult time in my life

Kristen is awesome! She always checks in with me.

Kristen’s knowledge and experience with trauma work as well as ADHD are very evident in every session I’ve had with her. She offers a wide array of resources, is very flexible and adaptive to what I need, and has given me a safe space to start working on issues that I didn’t necessarily think I would ever be able to move past. I would highly recommend her to any neurodivergent person with a history of trauma.

I am very lucky to have Kristen supporting my journey. She is present and helps me navigate all of different difficulties as they arrive. She helps me stay on track about taking care of myself, this is a blessing.

Kristen is extremely caring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!

Highly recommend Kristen! She has been so helpful and listens!

It’s almost been a year since I’ve started therapy with Kristen and honestly it’s been the best decision of my life! I’ve come along way in my journey and Kristen has been the best therapist one could ever ask for! Thank you

Kristin is very good at helping you articulate words that don’t come naturally to me. She wants to make sure she understands what I’m saying and when she says my words back to me it just makes more sense. She is very smart and personable.

Great so far

Kristen is fantastic, I am nervous to tell anyone the things I told her because I think people will think I’m strange. She knew immediately exactly what was going on with me and made me understand that what I’m experiencing is normal. Kristen also has a great laugh which is very welcoming and kind

Kristen is super!!!
She is personal yet very professional.
I enjoy meeting with her.

Kristen helps me make sense of my feelings, and always has great questions that make me consider a point-of-view that I hadn’t previously. My life has improved since I started talking with her.

Kristen is the best therapist I have ever come across in the last 15years I have been in therapy! I feel so safe, seen and understood. She has helped me so much to understand myself, my childhood and current/ past relationships, patterns and offered resources to heal. I highly recommend Kristen.

Kristen always makes an effort to follow-up through messages in between sessions.

I was comfortable with Kristen quickly and am looking forward to future sessions

I am in my ‘70’s and I have spent years working on my well being; however, the area where I needed the most work was on my inner child. Kristen has been keenly engaged in directing me to search out a relationship with my younger self and the practices she suggests have been very helpful in my self discovery.

Great therapist

Kristen shows incredible empathy in her sessions. She was skilled in de-escalating any arguments between my husband and me. Her kind demeanor was very inviting, and I felt comfortable and at ease sharing with her.

Kristen really helped me to open up and address issues slowly. With my last therapist, I feel like I'm defending myself and my feelings and the things that I did. I appreciate Kristen so much and she follows up with me which makes me feel that my welfare is important to her when I felt like nobody even cares for me. Thank you Kristen!

Kristen Smith was a great therapist for many different reasons but some included being on time and responsive when I reach out through the message board or we have a session, would provide different solutions or problem solving methods for the needs or concerns I was experiencing, was helpful and respectful but also maintained her professional opinions on certain things etc. Overall had a great experience with this service as well as with this therapist.

My therapist, Kristen Smith has been a rock for me when I needed someone to talk to. She is caring, supportive, empathetic and always has a great solutions. I would highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Kristen! Your help has been invaluable to me!

Kristen has been very supportive and helpful!

Kristen is a very engaged and sensitive therapist. She has helped me see positive things about myself in this time of uncertainty while going through a rough time in my life. She is a good listener and I appreciate that!!!

Highly recommend her services. Straight to the point and gives me homework.

Last year were my first sessions with Kristen. I can say that she helped me big time. I felt great progress after our sessions. Of course, I continued working on myself even after our sessions. That’s the point. I was able to continue working on myself on my own because of her help.

I would highly recommend anyone to see Kristen. I have gone through numerous therapists in hopes to find someone like Kristen.

Although I miss the essence of sitting in an office, face-to-face with a therapist, I almost don't even realize that I am behind a screen whenever I'm in session. She's extremely understanding and non-judgmental. She really focuses on what I need and what I want out of this.

She is an amazing listener.

Very friendly and makes me feel comfortable and safe to be open and honest

She’s patient and speaks well to you and has a lot of knowledge based on her practices

Kristen is patient, knowledgeable,
Extremely understanding.

Kind and understanding.

She more is much more a mother, who school a child/children in the best of upbringing(education); makes you know you can achieve anything you set your mind at.

I have only had two sessions with Kristen so far but she has been extremely helpful and understanding. Very patient and listens to me while I speak and lets me speak for as long as I need. I feel a very warm and caring energy from her. I went into this not knowing what to expect but I am glad I got paired with her. She has given me some great tools to help with my anxiety and I am so thankful for that. I look forward to continuing on doing sessions with her.

Kind, caring, compassionate and she remembers what has been said even if weeks before. Without exaggeration she has saved my life more than once.

The information that has been shared with us from Kristen has been eye opening, she has been fair in her speech when addressing us in the chats and has not shown to have taken sides but is showing us how to work together. She has also provided each of us validation for how we are feeling with understanding. I feel heard for the first time in a long time. Dealing with a separation, has been difficult to navigate, but her words are making it easier to handle.

I loved my time with teen counseling and Kristen. I felt very enlightened and comforted every time I spoke with her.
What a great platform - I think everyone should give it a chance

100%

She is professional. easy to talk to. i feel safe to talk to her.

I connected with Kristen immediately and felt comfortable opening up to her about issues I have not been able to address in therapy in the past. She has helped me begin to process some deep emotions, and I’m thankful for her expertise & guidance thus far.

I love working with Kristen. I made a lot of progress with her help that I could not have done otherwise.

Kirsten has been very warm, understanding and approachable, from the start myself and my husband felt very comfortable in sharing our situation. Kirsten listened to us and teased out key factors for us to work on, she supported us with worksheets and reflection practices to help me and my husband work on some of our most troubling aspects of ourselves. We’ve overcome some difficulties from the past and present which is allowing us to be more open and understanding with each other. We’ve been together over 30 years and I’m confident we’ll go another 30!! Thanks to Kirsten for helping us on our journey. Definitely recommend Kirsten and will contact her again should we need further guidance. Thank you Kirsten for helping us clear away some of the clutter and helping to get back to wanting to be together!!

Kristen Smith listens well and makes suggestions for helping yourself.

Very good experience and professional approach . Highly recommended

Kristen has been a life saver. She listens and helps me redirect my energy to what’s important for me. She does this with compassion, which is a gift. Kristen has helped me realize the importance of taking care of myself.

She has strongly supported me with her solid, friendly, and flexible expertise and rich experience.
I could be kind to characteristics of ADHD and non-binary, and change my old habit, find social support around me, and realized my lovely cat's tenderness thanks to her, etc., even via online sessions.
I feel I can move on the next steps of my professional work life.
I really appreciate my therapist Kristen Smith.

Kristen is objective, listens well, and provides her opinion on the matter. She tries to see all sides of a problem and provides very relevant exercises. Her worksheets helped me think differently about the matter.

Kristen is a great listener and then provides help I can put into action. She is a wealth of knowledge!

Takes a timely approach to issues. Listens to understands. Relates and helps to process issues with you

Thank you so much Kristen for your patience and understanding. Your experience and support mean so much to me.

Kristen is someone who has a lot of empathy in understanding my challenges. I have gained a lot of meaningful insights throughout my time with her that really helped heal my mental health

It has been good so far

Kristen Smith is a good listener. She helps me in so many ways to process and work through the traumatic events of my past.

So far it's been a pleasure talking to Kristen, I feel heard with no judgement. Every time we speak, I leave the conversation feeling so much better than when I went in. Its only been a month, but she has already helped me a lot.

I love sessions with Kristen so far. She is empathetic, nonjudgemental, and insightful. She is also very sweet and kind. Thanks for all your help :)

It’s only been a week and a half but she has listened to my issues from past and present along with current daily issues. She has so far been great and look forward to continuing to work with her.

Kristen is absolutely amazing, I feel so heard and acknowledged which makes me feel so happy! She listens to what I have to say then assesses it in a timely manner, would definitely recommend her!

We are just beginning our journey together (3 sessions in) , but as someone who has been in + out of therapy for 30yrs, I am really responding well to her relaxed yet highly informed + professional approach. She listens. I feel seen, heard + understood.

Kristen's approach to therapy has had a huge impact on me. With her guidance, I have gone from theory to practice and I feel a massive difference in my life. I cannot thank her enough. If you are lucky enough to connect with her, I have no doubts you will grow and learn profusely - as have I.

I appreciate that Karen asks pointed questions that help me to reflect on blind spots.

I have had several sessions with Kristen and I can attest that she is exceptional and because of her she has saved my marriage. Thank you Kristen.

Kristen is wonderful to work with!

Wonderful, attentive, caring counselor

Kristen listens, she take notes. You have to be aware that therapy is a journey, not a session. She doesn't tell you what your problem is, she helps you clear any confusion that might prevent you from understanding. She shows real concern. Although this journey is not up to her to fix you, it is only up to you to create the path to healing. Open your mind, and some exercice on the side is always good. Good luck.

Kristen is amazing.

Very affirming, empathetic yet professional & offers good strategies + advice!

I immediately felt comfortable with Kristen day 1 . She's easy to talk with and listens attentively to my disclosures. So far, she has provided rational analysis of my circumstance and offered practical advice.
I really like her. Hoping my request for preferred session date and time will be determined.

She’s awesome and making my life better

More engaging and interactive than other therapists I've been to.
