Kristen Mihara

Hi! I'm so glad you are thinking about therapy! I'm Kristen and I've been a therapist for over 15 years. I enjoy watching clients grow and change as they experience the help that therapy brings. I understand that the obstacles that occur in life impact everything including; our relationships, work, and our faith. I enjoy working with adults who are struggling in their relationships, adults with anxiety/stress, and people with trauma in their background. I also provide faith based counseling for those who are interested.

I practice using Dynamic Emotion Focused Therapy (DEFT) which is a compassionate collaboration that allows the person to move beyond their self protective strategies to connecting to their adaptive emotions and their core self. This way of practicing increases access to emotional capacities and helps people to build more dynamic and trusting relationships with themselves and others. It brings immense relief to stress, relationship concerns, and anxiety.

I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment. I hope that clients can experience deep and lasting change. I want to be a partner with my clients as they work towards what is important to them.
