Kristel Thompson-Bush

Welcome! I'm so glad that you're taking time to prioritize your mental health. As a board-certified therapist, I believe mental health is crucial to finding contentment and stability in life. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings, offering individual and group therapy, behavioral health assessments, in-home therapy, and crisis support. I enjoy working with adults of all ages and couples helping them navigate grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, and cultural and relationship challenges. Creating safe, supportive spaces is a core value of mine, and I am proudly gender-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive.

I believe everyone deserves therapy that's tailored to them and allows for an active role in their healing process. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, safe, and respected—so you can be open and honest without fear of judgment. I'll listen carefully, offer thoughtful feedback, challenge you when needed, and provide practical tools to help along the way. Together, we’ll draw from different therapeutic methods to find what works best for you and your unique needs.

In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you and hear your story. This is a chance for you to share what you're hoping to achieve in therapy and to ask any questions you might have, so you can feel confident about working together. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable to speak freely, build trust, and be vulnerable, all while knowing you’re in a secure space. After the introductory session, we’ll schedule follow-up sessions to continue working toward your goals.
