Great to meet you!

My name is Kristian Leavell and I have near a decade of experience performing individual therapy to people from all walks of life. I received my training at UT Arlington specializing in various types of Mental health problems. Depression, anxiety, and stress are my most common therapeutic cases but I have an extensive background/training in treating trauma and grief.

My approach to therapy

Studies show that without a strong therapeutic connection, most therapy is destined to fail. With that being the case, my number 1 priority is building a strong therapeutic relationship between us. I accomplish this by being honest, understanding, and most importantly non judgemental in my work. The rest in my experience always falls into place.

What you can expect from me

The reason people show up to therapy is multiple in theory. Some come in search of simple relief from stress, while others search for meaning amidst the wave of chaos that is our shared reality. Whatever your goal may be, my job is to empower you to achieve it in a timely and realistic manner. I hope to impart a sense of hope and direction at the end of every session.
