Krista Torres

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Perhaps you're navigating relationship challenges, recovering from a difficult experience, questioning your identity, grieving a loss, or facing a major life transition. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don't have to face it alone.

I help adults work through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, and life adjustments. Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your struggles and identify practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life.

My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood so you can explore difficult experiences openly and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

My professional background includes work in corrections, hospice and end-of-life care, domestic violence services, and sexual assault advocacy. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the ways trauma, loss, stress, and life transitions can affect emotional well-being, relationships, and self-esteem.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I also have experience working with individuals involved in the justice system, correctional professionals, and members of the kink and alternative lifestyle communities. I value meeting people exactly where they are and honoring the identities and experiences that shape their lives.

If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, direct, and focused on helping you create meaningful change, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support, guide, and collaborate with you rather than direct. Together, we will identify your strengths, build new skills, and create practical steps toward meaningful change. I focus on providing a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly and feel empowered throughout the therapeutic process.

In your first session, you can expect a welcoming, calm, and supportive space where we take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what brought you to therapy, your goals, your history, and any current concerns you’d like to focus on. This helps me understand your experiences and tailor our work to your needs.

We’ll move at your pace—there is no pressure to share anything before you feel ready. The first session is also a chance for you to ask questions, learn about my therapeutic approach, and get a sense of what working together will look like. My goal is for you to feel safe, respected, and comfortable, and to leave the session with a clearer picture of how we can move forward together.
