KRISTA NEWMAN, MA, LPCC, CLINICAL DIRECTOR

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and have been active in the field of mental health and wellness since 2009. I have extensive training and passion in work with trauma including dealing with abuse, anxiety and PTSD, anger management, and relationships impacted by abusive partners. 

I have experience, in particular, working with clients who are in relationships with abusive partners such as those struggling with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality disorders; I love to help individuals find the strength to set limits and emotionally heal from some of the “invisible abuse” that occurs within these relationships.

I tailor my approach to best meet the needs and goals of the individual. The theoretical model I most utilize is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also certified in the highly effective treatment of Eye-Movement-Desensitization-Reprocessing (EMDR).

MIKAYLA NELSON, COUNSELING INTERN

I am currently completing my master’s degree in counseling psychology at the University of St Thomas. I have particular interests in trauma, anxiety/depression, relational issues, couples’ therapy, and mood disorders. I works with adults and teenagers and always try to find what works best for each individual client or family. The theoretical model I am most interested in is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which explores your thoughts and behaviors and the way they impact your feelings and relationships. I also integrate a person-centered approach, which means that I am encouraging and our goals in session will be largely determined by you and what you want to get out of our time together.

KELLY KENNEDY, COUNSELING INTERN

I am currently completing my master’s degree in counseling psychology at the University of St Thomas. My interests revolve around a holistic view of health and healing and I am passionate about helping each client explore what that looks like to them. My clinical experience lies in trauma focused therapy, group work, and animal assisted psychotherapy. I see both adolescents and adults and am honored to be invited to collaborate with you.  I try to design a uniquely tailored therapeutic experience based on the understanding that no two people face the same difficulties. Because of that, my approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating person-centered, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness techniques. I strive to help you recognize what you are already doing well, clarify your goals, plan how to get to where you want to go, and maintain peace and self-care along the way.

If you are experiencing signs and symptoms of a viral respiratory infection including fever, cough, and shortness of breath or if you or someone you have been in contact with traveled internationally in the last 14 days, please DO NOT come to our office.
