Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Kristen Eberly, LCSW, and I specialize in supporting moms navigating anxiety, depression, and the challenges of motherhood. Using an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach, I help you understand the stress responses affecting you, strengthen emotional regulation, and build a steadier, more confident foundation moving forward. I began my career in early childhood mental health, working with children and their parents around attachment and trauma — so I bring a deep understanding of what's happening for both you and your child, not just what you're carrying alone.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and attachment-focused, grounded in a deep understanding of trauma and how it shapes the way we relate to ourselves and others. I draw on a range of tools, including EMDR, ACT, CBT, and interpersonal therapy, tailored to what actually fits you rather than a one-size-fits-all formula. My goal is to help you build confidence, self-trust, and a real sense of steadiness, so you feel more grounded in who you are and how you show up in your life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is really just about getting to know each other. I want to hear what's going on for you, what's feeling hard right now, and a bit about your story. It's not a rigid checklist, just a real conversation. Most moms leave that first session feeling like they're not carrying it all alone anymore, like someone finally gets it, understands what they're navigating, and can actually help.
