Kristen Cipielewski

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing happens when clients feel safe, supported, and truly understood. I take an integrative, client-centered approach, combining evidence-based therapies such as CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic interventions to help individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 17 years as an international educator, an experience that deepened my appreciation for cultural diversity and resilience. I also bring my background as a Certified Yoga Therapist, Registered Yoga Teacher to support a whole-person approach to healing.

I take an integrative, whole-person approach to therapy, recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. Every session is tailored to your unique experiences and goals, blending evidence-based therapies such as a range of cognitive, trauma-informed, and body-based approaches with a compassionate, collaborative style. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create lasting change that extends beyond the therapy room.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free environment. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your personal history, identify your goals, and begin creating a plan that feels aligned with your needs. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered, so you leave with a clearer sense of direction and hope for the journey ahead.
