Kristi Sedgwick

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), my clinical focus centers on supporting individuals through complex trauma, life transitions, anxiety and the unique challenges of parenthood. Prior to becoming a counselor, I built a 25-year career as a leader in the corporate world, cultivating skills in cross-cultural communication and systems thinking. I bring this real-world experience into my practice, giving me a deep understanding of the complex professional and personal ecosystems you might be navigating. Ultimately, my goal is to create a deeply affirming space where you feel genuinely seen and supported on your path toward healing.

My foundational approach is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning we will collaborate closely to select the most effective strategies for your unique journey. I specialize in addressing anxiety and complex trauma, recognizing that these are often at the core of the hurdles my clients face. To foster healing, I utilize evidence-based interventions tailored specifically to your needs, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clients consistently describe my therapeutic style as warm, patient, and compassionate, allowing them to feel truly heard and validated.

In our first session, my primary goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you feel entirely comfortable sharing your challenges without judgment. Many of my clients are the main support system for others or lack strong community ties, so you can expect a space rooted in patience and warmth where you are finally the one being supported. We will begin by exploring your inherent strengths and wellness to establish a strong foundation for our work together. By the end of our initial meeting, we will have started collaborating on a tailored plan to help you navigate your healing journey.
