About Kristen Crissman
Kristen (she/her/hers) is a compassionate and insightful clinician who creates a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free space for clients to explore their experiences. Her work is rooted in understanding how early family dynamics and formative relationships shape identity, self-worth, and the way we move through the world. She is dedicated to helping clients examine these patterns and begin to rewrite the beliefs they hold about themselves into ones that feel healthier, more empowering, and more aligned with who they want to become.
Kristen takes a collaborative, client-centered approach, integrating evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of how overlapping systems—family, school, community, and broader social structures—can influence both barriers and opportunities for growth. She works alongside clients to make sense of their experiences, build insight, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
With extensive experience working with complex family dynamics, Kristen specializes in supporting adolescents as they navigate identity development, relationships, and life transitions. She is skilled in helping both individuals and families better understand one another, fostering connection while also supporting each client’s individual growth.
Therapy should feel like a space where your story is heard, honored, and thoughtfully explored. Kristen is here to hold space for the experiences that have shaped your worldview while helping you form a new version of yourself—one grounded in self-worth, clarity, and pride.
