Kristen Ajamian

First- I love being a therapist. Second, I feel that it’s a privilege to be chosen to walk alongside someone in their journey of life and support them and help them learn tools to navigate life‘s challenges in an effective way. I love helping people live their best life!

I've been in practice for 27 years. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. I also have advanced certification In Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. Common treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I work hard to cultivate a peaceful, safe, caring atmosphere with my clients. My clients tell me that they feel supported and have had breakthroughs that they did not experience with previous therapists. I frequently provide trainings in the community in the areas of mental health, women’s issues and parenting and have been selected for news interviews on two occasions as a local mental health expert in my field.

You will find me to be empathetic, kind, respectful and affirming. I use a holistic approach and believe that every part of your life plays in role in your total well-being and mental health. I tell my clients that when they come into their therapy session with me, it is a time for them to be themselves, feel valued, empowered and to know that they are in a judgement free zone.

Many of the goals that I set with clients are improving lifestyle choices, spending more time in self-care, practicing healthy boundaries, learning how to communicate effectively and handle conflict in a better way. I usually give clients homework to practice and reinforce what we discuss in therapy sessions.
