Kristen Aukeman
Hey there, I'm really glad you're here. Let me tell you a bit about why therapy is so meaningful to me. I began my own journey into therapy when I was younger, facing similar struggles to what you might be experiencing now. It wasn't easy, but therapy became my light during those tough times. It showed me that even in the midst of darkness, there's hope and room for joy. Now, I'm here to offer you that same support and guidance. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you, helping you find the tools you need to feel better. I work with people ages 18 and up who are dealing with challenges such as anxiety and depression. Maybe you're struggling with relentless panic attacks, or perhaps it's the constant weight of worry and uncertainty. Whatever it is, please know that you're not alone. I'm here to listen, to understand, and to help you reclaim your life, step by step. Here's what you can expect from our time together: a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your story and explore your emotions. It's about building trust and working together towards your goals. From learning relaxation techniques to finding ways to silence negative thoughts, we'll tackle things at your pace. I will assign homework, teach you tools, tips, and skills. My goal is to empower you.Throughout our therapeutic journey, you can expect a professional and empathetic approach grounded in evidence-based techniques. You're invited to a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your emotions and experiences. From cultivating relaxation practices to challenging negative thought patterns, I am committed to equipping you with the tools and insights to heal.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” -Fred Rogers Our experiences throughout life shape us in many ways. I work with individuals to empower them to better understand themselves, and the ways in which they manage life’s hardships, as stress and trauma are often unavoidable experiences of life. I am a trauma-focused mental health therapist, who believes that everyone has their own unique strengths for surviving and thriving through life’s ups and downs. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and attachment-focused. I value building a therapeutic alliance, and my intention is to have each individual feel heard and supported in our time together. I strive to promote a healing environment using active listening, sensitivity, and non-judgmental compassion for everyone’s unique situation.

Julius L Peterson
During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.
