Krista Thronson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience providing evidence-based mental health services to individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), allowing me to support clients in addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life stressors in an effective and structured way.

In addition to clinical therapy, I am a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator and a Certified First Responder Counselor. These roles have given me extensive experience working with complex cases, high-stress professions, and individuals navigating challenging systems or critical incidents.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal oriented. I believe in meeting clients where they are and empowering them with the tools and insight needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to help each person grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.

The Initial Session

The first session will focus on establishing rapport and creating a comfortable, collaborative therapeutic environment. During this session, we will get to know one another, gather relevant background and presenting-concern information, discuss the therapy process and expectations, and review the “house rules” or guidelines that help ensure a safe, respectful, and productive therapeutic relationship. This initial meeting will also provide an opportunity to establish treatment goals and develop a foundation for ongoing therapeutic work.
