Kristen Blackmer

Welcome, my name is Kristen and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve been in the field since 2014 and have worked with all ages, families, and relationships. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, family conflicts, parenting issues, trauma and abuse. With these specialties, I utilize several different treatment modalities in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strength-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing therapy.

I have also become more interested in postpartum/perinatal support. I feel as though the ongoing stigma, lack of support, and finding new self-identity has driven my need to also assist these new moms in their journey with their baby. This new transition into motherhood is hard, and my goal is to assist in helping to navigate through the feelings of loss of control, change of family dynamics, and valuing the importance of YOU, Mom!

With these specialties, I utilize several different treatment modalities in my work including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, strength-based therapy, exposure therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing therapy.

You can leave feeling heard and validated as well as a game plan on next steps to overcome identified challenges you are going through.
