Hi, I'm Kristine! College and early adulthood can feel like the first time no one's handing you a syllabus for your own life, and that's disorienting. If anxiety, homesickness, imposter feelings, or the pressure to have it all figured out are wearing you down, I'd love to help. I work with students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the identity questions that come with being newly on your own. Many of my clients grew up as the responsible one, the peacekeeper, or the high achiever, and are realizing that pattern is exhausting to maintain. We'll get curious about where that started and build something more sustainable in its place. My approach combines CBT and psychodynamic therapy with mindfulness and a mind-body lens since academic stress and anxiety show up physically as much as mentally. Sessions are practical and collaborative. You bring what's going on, I bring structure and support. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Northwell Direct, and Quest Behavioral Health. For all other major insurance companies, I am an out of network provider. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to make the process as seamless as possible. I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can work together.

I employ a holistic approach enabling the client to heal in their own time within a safe, understanding and caring environment. The world of academia presents it's own stressors in many arenas; performance, time management, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, stress and relationships. Through the utilization of various techniques, these issues can become manageable. In relationship therapy, I assist couples in doing the work needed to heal their relationship and move forward, with healthier communication and expectations. Healing from sexual abuse is a painful journey. I have experience in working with both victims and perpetrators, which gives me a unique perspective and understanding to assist you in your healing journey. My focus is on childhood sexual abuse, PTSD, women's issues, and trauma as well as other issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and domestic violence. I am trained in EMDR, which is the number one therapy for trauma. I work with people whose lives have been affected by codependency.

Therapy is a journey where you learn more about yourself, your internal experience, and your loved ones in order to change your life based on your own goals and values. I can help you and/or other members of your family gain flexibility in your thoughts and actions through experiential skill development. At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional expression; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My goal is to create a warm and safe environment where emotions, thoughts, memories, and other internal experiences can be explored with compassion and understanding. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and interpersonal concerns using a variety of evidence based treatments. I have helped children, adolescents, families, parents, and couples approach their concerns from a family systems perspective.
Life can be a journey full of what feels like never ending roadblocks and detours. I believe that therapy can be an amazing opportunity to not only work through roadblocks but also celebrate life’s wins in a way that is nonjudgemental and collaborative. As a therapist I offer a warm, open, and empathetic approach to help gain self-awareness and work towards building a life worth living. Throughout my past work in acute care settings I have gained extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-injury, and complicated grief in residential, group, and outpatient settings. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adults and primarily operate from a CBT/DBT approach with compassion and openness. In my approach I work collaboratively with my patients to help develop awareness of unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaviors and working towards acceptance and change. I strive to build a safe space to work on conquering roadblocks and moving towards a life worth living. I believe that all clients can achieve the life that they dream of and find meaning and power through all of life’s struggles. Remember you matter, and that life worth living is not far from reach.

If you're not feeling like college is exactly what you pictured, - you're overwhelmed by meeting a ton of new people, - finding it harder to be away from home than you expected, - or feeling like you're expected to just know how to "adult", That makes sense! And you're not the only one. It's really difficult to balance all of the competing priorities in college. There's the pressure to do well academically, the constant socializing or feeling isolated away from friends, the emotional shit creeping up on us at 4am... It's a lot. Many of our clients think, "On top of everything else, how am I supposed to know who I am or what I'm doing with my life?" Especially if you're queer or trans, this time can be even more challenging when you don't feel like you have a dedicated space to process what comes up. The truth is, you're not supposed to have all the answers. As you go through figuring it out (and finding more questions) - one step at a time - it might help to have some extra support. Kindred Therapy LLC is an inclusive, affirming psychotherapy practice seeing clients over telehealth in PA and NJ. We support you in accepting all of your parts, healing from trauma, and just overall navigating this weird life. We particularly prioritize space for queer, gender expansive, neurodivergent, and QTBIPOC individuals.
