Kristen Trolenberg

You have many options to choose from when looking for a therapist and I know from years of experience that finding the right therapist makes all the difference. I have worked as a psychotherapist for decades now and have supported clients from all walks of life and with many different challenges. After achieving my Masters in Social Work, I worked in community mental health and hospitals for several years, and in women's health for several years before that, and in restaurant work before all that (which I think was actually a great addition to my later work as a therapist!) I began my psychotherapy practice, about 24 years ago working with adolescents, adults and couples and teaching DBT skills classes. My specialty areas are mood and relationship difficulties, personality disorders, compulsive and procrasting behaviors, ADHD and food/body image issues. This expertise and extensive experience has given me a wide array of skills to call upon, both emotional and practical, to help bring out your best.

If you are looking for an active participant in your self-exploration, improved wellness, relationships and productivity, then my decades of experience may be the solution. I have a solution-focused and strength-affirming style that will highlight your true self and address your challenges. We will also focus on skills development and use homework to help you achieve the lifestyle, mood and communication goals you are hoping for. My background in mindfulness, CBT, wellness and performance have led my clients to enhance their relationships, careers and find confidence and calm in their daily lives. I hope that I can be part of your process too.

I offer a free initial consult to make sure we feel like we are a good fit to get the most out of therapy. Then in the first session we will establish your goals, get to know your life history and current challenges and determine what steps will help you feel and function better right away.
