Kristen R. Weick MA, LMHC, NCC ("Kristy" / she/her)

My specializations include working with LGBTQIA+ people and their concerns, people living with HIV/AIDS, people in non-monogamous / polyamorous / open relationships, people in the kink / BDSM community, increasing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-efficacy, teaching coping skills, career counseling, using mindfulness, and teaching assertiveness, boundary setting, and communication skills. My counseling approach combines person-centered, social constructionism, multiculturalism / cultural humility & sensitivity, solution-focused, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral theories. I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, trauma, and those who are going through life changes. My main goal is to create a safe space for you to explore who you are, your experiences in life, and what you would like to become or experience, by providing a non-judgmental, respectful, calm, and stable atmosphere as your counselor. I currently am seeing clients age 13+ and exclusively via secure online video sessions.
