Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Kristina Serena, owner of Serena Counseling and Empowerment Resources. I work with women to identify and conquer fears, obsessions, or unhealthy patterns of living that have resulted in feeling powerless!

Over and over again I see women clutch to a certain set of rules surrounding their body, food, or substances. This can be seen in many forms; excessive preoccupation, holding on the “idea” of perfectionism or distortion of reality. You may feel frozen or stuck.

My approach to therapy

It can be incredibly liberating to identify these patterns in a place of non-judgement.

Treatment modalities will be tailored to you. There is no one-size fits all approach to treatment

Therapy may include but not limited to: CBT, DBT, ACT, Trauma Focused, Strength-Based, Somatic techniques including breathwork, body awareness and body scanning

What you can expect from me

Through exploration of your story you will learn to embrace self love and start to heal.

Healing can have great impact on our emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Together we can identify barriers to growth and foster change to live as your authentic self. There is no standard normal. Sometimes we have to dig deep and sometimes it's surface reflection. Each of us has a story and your story is powerful.
